| Rank | Team | Reason | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Oregon Ducks | Another masterclass, this time in the Big House. Hard to argue against them being number one so far. | 
| 2 |  Ohio State Buckeyes | Well that was a gritty win in Happy Valley. A lot of debate about how good they are but winning at Penn State and their only loss by one point being on the road against Oregon is a strong resume. | 
| 3 |  Miami Hurricanes | Their defense is still spotty but for as much arguing there is, you can't deny the explosiveness of Cam Ward and the offense. | 
| 4 |  Georgia Bulldogs | I take it the folks in Athens will never complain about beating Florida but Carson Beck didn't inspire many in Jacksonville. | 
| 5 |  Texas Longhorns | They'll gladly take an off-week before the home stretch. | 
| 6 |  Indiana Hoosiers | 9WINdiana is here. But the Hoosiers are aiming higher. | 
| 7 |  BYU Cougars | Well the folks in Provo were happy to have a Week off during the Big 12 chaos this weekend. | 
| 8 |  Penn State Nittany Lions | Always the brides' maid, never the bride. | 
| 9 |  Tennessee Volunteers | Not the prettiest game against Kentucky but not pretty beats many results teams faced this week. | 
| 10 |  Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Well they're not happy with A&M getting smoked. | 
| 11 |  Boise State Broncos | Well they may not even need the auto bid to get into the field if things hold. | 
| 12 |  Alabama Crimson Tide | This season hasn't been up to the standards of the Saban era, but I bet they got schadenfreude seeing Auburn get Pavia'd too. | 
| 13 |  SMU Mustangs | Huge weekend for SMU. The coast is now clear for a trip to Charlotte, but it is theirs to lose. | 
| 14 |  Texas A&M Aggies | Oooof. | 
| 15 |  LSU Tigers | Suddenly new life in their season. | 
| 16 |  Ole Miss Rebels | This weekend was the Ole Miss many were expecting this season. | 
| 17 |  Army West Point | The coast got clearer for a AAC conference title. | 
| 18 |  Colorado Buffaloes | Big 12 chaos and now Neon Deion and company have an open path to the playoff. What a time. | 
| 19 |  Clemson Tigers | Bouncing back well after the Georgia game only to fall apart against Louisville seems like a form of Clemsoning. | 
| 20 |  Pittsburgh Panthers | It had been an impressive year but only a matter of time before they went full Pitt in the end. | 
| 21 |  Washington State Cougars | A week off before facing off against Utah State. While it's an easier gauntlet than they would have faced in the Pac 12 it's still an impressive bounce back season. | 
| 22 |  Iowa State Cyclones | What a rug pull Sunday's game turned out to be. | 
| 23 |  Kansas State Wildcats | Houston??? | 
| 24 |  Missouri Tigers | Didn't feel like punishing them for being off this week. | 
| 25 |  Vanderbilt Commodores | Bowl eligible Vandy. Not bad, not bad at all Swaggerbilt. |
