Overall Rationale: Still high on the insanity of the Holy War
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oregon Ducks | NC Oregon just keeps on rolling |
2 | Ohio State Buckeyes | +1 The Buckeyes slaughter Purdue. The game against Indiana should be incredible. |
3 | Texas Longhorns | +2 Texas is suddenly back in the driver’s seat after Georgia goes down |
4 | Tennessee Volunteers | +4 I’m still not totally sold on this offense, but the defense is amazing. You can kill Georgia’s playoff hopes next week. |
5 | BYU Cougars | +1 WHAT. A. GAME. Ugly, scrappy, and needed a holding call to pull it off—but at the end of the day, BYU is still undefeated, and winning a rivalry game is never a given. |
6 | Indiana Hoosiers | +1 The Hoosiers did enough to win, but they’ll have to be much better if they want to knock off the Buckeyes. |
7 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | +2 Notre Dame slaughtered the Seminoles to make their already miserable season a little bit worse. |
8 | Penn State Nittany Lions | +2 A good bounce back win for the Nittany Lions, who have what should be an easy path to the playoff. Key word: should. |
9 | SMU Mustangs | +2 Bye |
10 | Alabama Crimson Tide | +3 A convincing win at Death Valley means that the rumors of Alabama’s demise were greatly exaggerated. |
11 | Boise State Broncos | +1 It was an ugly win against a bad Nevada team, but a win against a rival is always worth it. Also, Ashton Jeanty. |
12 | Miami Hurricanes | -8 You kept playing with fire, Canes, and this time you dug yourselves a hole you couldn’t climb out of. |
13 | Ole Miss Rebels | +3 I did not see this one coming. Ole Miss showing up in a big game against Georgia? All of a sudden, they’ve got a clear path to the playoff. |
14 | Georgia Bulldogs | -12 Your offense looks terrible. There’s just no other way to put it. God help you against Rocky Top. |
15 | Texas A&M Aggies | +2 Bye |
16 | Washington State Cougars | +4 The Coogs easily put away hapless Utah State and look poised to pounce if there’s chaos above them. |
17 | Clemson Tigers | -2 Clemson just looks uninspiring right now. Good job getting the win, but at this point, you need style points if you’re going to climb back into the playoff conversation. |
18 | Kansas State Wildcats | +3 Bye |
19 | Colorado Buffaloes | +3 Good win, but the game management at the end was a little iffy |
20 | Army West Point | -2 Army keeps winning, but it does not look impressive right now. But hey, winning is the most important thing! |
21 | Louisville Cardinals | +3 Bye |
22 | South Carolina Gamecocks | +3 The Cocks throttle Cinderella Vandy, causing great sorrow across the land |
23 | LSU Tigers | -4 My expectations against Alabama were low, but *holy fuck* |
24 | Tulane Green Wave | NR The Green Wave keep winning, and both of their losses are understandable. A big matchup with Navy will clarify the AAC championship picture. |
25 | Missouri Tigers | NR Strip sack for the win? Impressive, though it really shouldn’t come to that against this Oklahoma team. |
