| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 3 |
Texas Longhorns
|
To be honest, I DO feel like I might be overranking the Longhorns a bit...well, at least over Indiana... |
| 4 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
...I guess we'll have to see if Arkansas comes to their aide! |
| 5 |
BYU Cougars
|
Cougars are weird...undefeated, and a lot of great wins...but woof...that Holy War game doth not inspire much confidence... |
| 6 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 7 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 8 |
Boise State Broncos
|
|
| 9 |
SMU Mustangs
|
Maybe didn't beat Louisville as convincingly as Notre Dame...but then again, it WAS a road win against the Cardinals...and of course, the whole "only loss was to a now solid BYU team by only 3"... |
| 10 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
I can't tell what to think of the Irish...decently high enough ceiling, but how much are we going to value that shocking NIU loss? |
| 11 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Isn't it dumb how the Tide and the Rebels won't play each other this season? |
| 12 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Just goes to show you how...silly the SEC scheduling has been sometimes... |
| 13 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 14 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Is it harsh to drop them so much? I guess...but alas, the Hurricanes had it coming... |
| 15 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
|
| 16 |
Clemson Tigers
|
|
| 17 |
Army West Point
|
|
| 18 |
Washington State Cougars
|
They are praying hard for chaos up in Pullman, I'll tell you that much... |
| 19 |
LSU Tigers
|
I'm probably giving the Tigers much more sympathy (based on resume/results) than they would deserve... |
| 20 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
|
| 21 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
|
| 22 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
|
| 23 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
Hey, what do you know, I was vindicated by my support for the Gamecocks! |
| 24 |
Missouri Tigers
|
...and now, I can't wait for this South Carolina sympathy to punch me in the teeth on Saturday lol |
| 25 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
It's been a BAD freefall for the Cyclones...but alas, I do think that dropping them out ENTIRELY would be a step too much (not that they AREN'T hanging on by a thread either)... |
