| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Win vs Ohio State. Undefeated P4 with 2 GREAT win. LW: 1 |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Bet win of the season, pummeling Texas on the road. They haven't really looked good outside of their 2 ranked wins. LW: 2 |
| 3 |
BYU Cougars
|
2 ranked wins including SMU on the road. Undefeated keeps them above tOSU LW: 3 |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Win over PSU on the road looks great. Above Indiana because of a better win. Also best loss in the country LW: 6 |
| 5 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Destroying everyone, even though they haven't really any great team. Quality opponent in win stops them from being above tOSU LW: 5 |
| 6 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Still undefeated. Win vs Florida keeps looking better and better. Win over a ranked team now too. LW: 8 |
| 7 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Terrible loss still but 2 ranked wins. Have looked really convincing in all their wins. They also broke a service academy LW: 9 |
| 8 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Win over Bama looks good still. They're meh but a better win than Texas and SMU LW: 11 |
| 9 |
Texas Longhorns
|
No real good wins other than Vandy by 1 score on score. Still generally looked dominant. Still 1 loss LW: 12 |
| 10 |
SMU Mustangs
|
Beat Louisville on the road. 2 ranked wins including crushing Pitt. LW: 18 |
| 11 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
You realize at this point they really haven't beat anybody. Illinois is alright. Lost to only real team they've played LW: 4 |
| 12 |
Boise State Broncos
|
Crushed good Wazzu team. Great loss to Oregon. GOAT Jeanty LW: 13 |
| 13 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
2 losses to good teams by single scores at home. Still beat UGA. Crushed decent Mizzou and Wisconsin LW: 17 |
| 14 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Not good loss but I think SCar is underrated. 2 ranked losses. Beat LSU handilly and crushed Mizzou. LW: 10 |
| 15 |
Washington State Cougars
|
1 ranked loss. Common opponent win better than Iowa State. That's why they're ahead LW: 20 |
| 16 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
Behind Wazzu because of loss to TTU. Still lots of comfortable wins LW: 7 |
| 17 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Ahead of LSu because they've straight up looked better. OT loss on the road isnt that much for me. LW: 23 |
| 18 |
LSU Tigers
|
2 ranked wins, though 1 through refball, and an unranked loss. They're overrated, but okay. LW: 22 |
| 19 |
Army West Point
|
Haven't trailed yet, played absolutely nobody LW: 19 |
| 20 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
Still crushed good Syracuse. and only 1 loss (to a ranked team) LW: 14 |
| 21 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
1 score loss on road isn't good but not terrible either. Beat Colorado and Tulane on the road. LW: 16 |
| 22 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
I've said all year- best 3 loss team in the nation. Beat A&M Handily. should only have 2 losses and only lost bad in 1 game. LW: UR |
| 23 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Crushed Clemson on the road. 3 top-10 losses. LW: UR |
| 24 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
They exist. Decent record, look good. LW: 24 |
| 25 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Crushed by both teams with a pulse they've played, but crush everyone else. On thin ice LW: 15 |
