| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
undefeated with 2 wins vs playoff teams. Even having bad weeks they’re still winning by 3 scores |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
has shown they’re essentially neck and neck with Oregon and is undefeated otherwise |
| 3 |
Texas Longhorns
|
still looking solid against their SEC schedule with just the 1 slip up to a good Georgia team |
| 4 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
undefeated albeit against a weaker schedule. Clearly outplaying their opponent every game up until this week |
| 5 |
BYU Cougars
|
Essentially the same thing as Indiana but has looked less convincing. Better wins than any team not named Oregon |
| 6 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Has looked good all season outside of an inexplicable loss to Arkansas |
| 7 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Still definitely a playoff team and is beating every team on their schedule, but has yet to show they’re one of THE teams |
| 8 |
SMU Mustangs
|
Can’t fault a team for staying winning and their only loss keeps looking better and better |
| 9 |
Boise State Broncos
|
Same as SMU with a less impressive resume |
| 10 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
has looked fairly impressive outside of their 2 losses, but still has two losses |
| 11 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
still a good team but can’t put them above ole miss after they just lost to them |
| 12 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
obviously a decent team but their 1 loss is abysmal |
| 13 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
has looked inconsistent all year and although vanderbilt is decent they’re still not a good loss |
| 14 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
finally got what was coming to them |
| 15 |
Army West Point
|
winning games gets you higher, and they’ve been doing that. ND/Army should essentially be a plan-in if they both win otherwise |
| 16 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
quality team with 2 losses to good teams, although they shouldn’t have gotten blown out by SCAR |
| 17 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
sneakily controls their own destiny at this point (similar to every team above them) |
| 18 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
3 losses all to good teams and 1 win against a good team |
| 19 |
Clemson Tigers
|
still a decent team but is riding off of name value imo, could be a sneaky competitor but not necessarily |
| 20 |
Washington State Cougars
|
can’t fault a team for winning but their schedule is weak for sure. could sneak in w chaos |
| 21 |
LSU Tigers
|
obviously a formidable team but the USC loss hurts them |
| 22 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
cannot believe they lost to houston |
| 23 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
looking better and better as the year goes on, unfortunately the LSU game turned out the way it did because they could really upset a lot of teams right now |
| 24 |
Arizona State Sun Devils
|
DILLY DILLY much improved team with a great upcoming prove it game against k state |
| 25 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
they’re beating everyone on their schedule and have looked fantastic since week 2 |
