Overall Rationale: Same as last week.
| Rank | Team | Reason | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Oregon Ducks | Ducks keeping their record clean, and staying undefeated. | 
| 2 |  Indiana Hoosiers | Indiana keeps blowing teams out, and I'm not the AP. I give credit where it's due. | 
| 3 |  BYU Cougars | BYU one of just five(four really) undefeateds remaining, and representing the XII well. | 
| 4 |  Army West Point | Army is going to get a chance to prove themselves against ND soon. Hopefully they don't mess it up like the MIDshipmen. | 
| 5 |  Miami Hurricanes | Miami, you're still undefeated? Impressive win, and good job gaining back some trust. | 
| 6 |  Ohio State Buckeyes | Ohio State moves up big-time, after eeking it out against... | 
| 7 |  Penn State Nittany Lions | Penn State, who falls big-time in turn. | 
| 8 |  Notre Dame Fighting Irish | The Irish stay climbing the polls. | 
| 9 |  Boise State Broncos | Boise State, YOU are a top 10 team! | 
| 10 |  SMU Mustangs | And SMU, so are you! | 
| 11 |  Georgia Bulldogs | Y'all gotta be trying to lose, I have no idea how that's going on. | 
| 12 |  Tennessee Volunteers | Tennessee moving up into what would be playoff position if I were in charge. | 
| 13 |  Texas Longhorns | Texas is just behind them, might be there before long. | 
| 14 |  Iowa State Cyclones | Ouch. I had faith in you, I did. The Cyclones can rebuild, but it's a long way up. | 
| 15 |  Pittsburgh Panthers | Double the sentiment above for Pitt, they got trashed. | 
| 16 |  Washington State Cougars | Especially considering their schedule, Wazzu could be in playoff position if they win out. | 
| 17 |  Texas A&M Aggies | Join the ISU/Pitt club. | 
| 18 |  LSU Tigers | Not great for LSU that A&M lost, but a win against Bama next week could kick them out of the polls, and move LSU far up them. | 
| 19 |  Alabama Crimson Tide | Be very careful with our quality loss, Alabama. | 
| 20 |  Kansas State Wildcats | Bad week for the XII. | 
| 21 |  Syracuse Orange | The Orange could be real contenders in the ACC, if they get more consistent. | 
| 22 |  UNLV Rebels | Nice steady movement from the Rebels. | 
| 23 |  Minnesota Golden Gophers | Congrats on being ranked! Please stay ranked so we can beat you and maybe get ranked too! | 
| 24 |  Illinois Fighting Illini | Tough loss, but the Illini won't be penalized too much for it against a decent Golden Gophers team. | 
| 25 |  Iowa Hawkeyes | Oh. My. God. That was a war crime. |
