Overall Rationale: Best teams by overall
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oregon Ducks | Best team undefeated and beat Ohio st |
2 | Indiana Hoosiers | Finally saw them not have the lead and be down double digits how did they fair 47 unanswered |
3 | Georgia Bulldogs | Georgia doesn’t play well against lesser opponents but would probably be favored against every team in the county |
4 | Miami Hurricanes | Survive and advance their offense is good enough to carry them to the acc title now can they do it in January |
5 | BYU Cougars | BYU is a good team that has played well but don’t have the opportunity to do as well as above teams |
6 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Beating penn st may make you think they should be top 5 however they didn’t put the game away like it felt like they could have don’t + they aren’t Georgia where they are better than undefeated teams but they are closing in |
7 | Texas Longhorns | Benefited from not playing and needs to improve significantly in the trenches if they want to compete in the playoffs |
8 | Penn State Nittany Lions | James Franklin may get fired for this week but penn st needs to show up to play and finally defeat a top 5 team |
9 | Tennessee Volunteers | Struggling against Kentucky isn’t as big of knock as it is historically. They need to find their offense if they want to truly be contenders |
10 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Big matchup against army this week as they have been looking like the team that beat a&m instead of the team that lost to NIU |
11 | Boise State Broncos | Aston Jeanty has had 2 “bad games” with 300+ yards in them combined but Boise keeps winning and doing it with a battered oline and jeanty being hurt is a good sign for things to come |
12 | SMU Mustangs | Turns out Pitt were frauds/ and SMU is legit. Now their path to the acc title is wide open and they will need to focus and not look ahead |
13 | LSU Tigers | Big do or die games this week against Alabama to keep their playoff hopes and sec hopes alive but they just move up because the teams ahead lost |
14 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Copy and paste lsu but they will need to beat lsu to prove they have a legit team and not a bad team that lost to vandy and tenn |
15 | Army West Point | Still hasn’t trailed a second on the season, but has the biggest test of the season on the horizon against notre dame if they can at least keep it competitive they have a good chance to sneak into the playoffs |
16 | Iowa State Cyclones | Their sos is bad and they really needed to stay undefeated to keep a higher rank but they still control their own destiny but need to do better on offense and situational defense |
17 | Ole Miss Rebels | Ole miss finally played how everyone thought they would against a real team but they need to beat Georgia this week to prove they belong at the top of the sec hierarchy |
18 | Texas A&M Aggies | The letdown was real as they beat lsu and just didn’t even look good against South Carolina with the small Caveat that moss is now hurt |
19 | Clemson Tigers | Their really bad loss to Georgia was looking better but turns out they couldn’t beat Louisville |
20 | Washington State Cougars | Tech winning helps Washington state and they’ll need to keep winning and having tech win to really have a chance at bigger and better things this year |
21 | Kansas State Wildcats | Bad loss to a bad team not much more to say but their season is now on life support and they need Avery Johnson to step up and improve |
22 | Colorado Buffaloes | Hunter is really good sanders is really good the rest of the team has played well as of late but we need to see it against a good team |
23 | Pittsburgh Panthers | They were frauds but they only have 1 loss to a good smu |
24 | Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns | 1 loss to Tulane and could push for the group of 5 spot if the above teams start losing |
25 | Tulane Green Wave | Tulane should have had a terrible year by all accounts with Willy Fritz taking the life raft to Houston but Tulane has continued to play well and look good with their only losses being to ranked opponents (at the time) |
