Submitted: Nov. 4, 2024, 7:40 p.m.
Overall Rationale: I try to rank based mostly off performance, with light weighting put into team talent/preseason expectations. As the season goes on, preseason expectations for a team will be considered less and less. I do not take into account injuries
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oregon Ducks | The consensus #1 team. No debate |
2 | Miami Hurricanes | Miami continues to win and their offense might be the best in the country. The question is always if their defense will hold up. |
3 | Indiana Hoosiers | Indiana has dominated all year. They move up even higher to #3 |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | A big win at Penn State, but since they have 1 loss they are stuck at 4. |
5 | Georgia Bulldogs | UGA struggled against a 3rd string QB at a neutral site against an unranked team. They move back to 5. |
6 | Texas Longhorns | BYE |
7 | BYU Cougars | BYU continues to win. Their resume is not that impressive but as long as they keep winning they will keep moving up. |
8 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
9 | Tennessee Volunteers | |
10 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Penn State has struggled some this year and then did not impress in the loss, so they drop to 10. |
11 | SMU Mustangs | |
12 | Boise State Broncos | |
13 | Iowa State Cyclones | |
14 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
15 | Texas A&M Aggies | |
16 | LSU Tigers | |
17 | Army West Point | |
18 | Washington State Cougars | |
19 | Pittsburgh Panthers | |
20 | Clemson Tigers | |
21 | Ole Miss Rebels | |
22 | Colorado Buffaloes | |
23 | Kansas State Wildcats | |
24 | Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns | Louisiana has 1 loss to a good Tulane team. They earned a top 25 spot. |
25 | Missouri Tigers | Missouri was on bye but has looked the least impressive of the 2 loss P4 teams. |
