Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oregon Ducks | [11-0] Undisputed best record with two incredible wins (Ohio State & Boise State). |
2 | Indiana Hoosiers | [10-0] No marque wins, but a school best run. Tough to rank because they haven't beaten anyone. |
3 | Texas Longhorns | [9-1] It turns out Georgia was their one good game this season, and they lost. |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | [9-1] Win against a top 10 Penn State, 1 point loss to Oregon, and they have absolutely dominated the rest of the B1G. |
5 | Miami Hurricanes | [9-1] Suspect defense shows in loss to Georgia Tech. Still a top-8 team. |
6 | BYU Cougars | [9-1] Being punished for the inexplicable loss to Kansas. Still a remarkably competent team. |
7 | SMU Mustangs | [9-1] Only loss is to a one loss BYU, Hard to judge how good they are without a true marquee opponent. |
8 | Boise State Broncos | [9-1] Only loss is to #1 by a field goal. |
9 | Ole Miss Rebels | [8-2] Two rather insane wins, and a head to head win over Georgia. |
10 | Georgia Bulldogs | [8-2] Losses to Bama and Georgia, and a great win vs Clemson, Texas, and Tennessee. |
11 | Penn State Nittany Lions | [9-1] Lost to Ohio State by one score, have handled the rest of a weak schedule well. |
12 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | [9-1] Still has the worst loss of the season. |
13 | Tennessee Volunteers | [8-2] Loss to Oklahoma is embarrassing |
14 | Alabama Crimson Tide | [8-2] The win over Georgia is great, Missouri / LSU are average, and losses to Vanderbilt and Tennessee. Incredibly hard to judge. |
15 | Texas A&M Aggies | [8-2 Have literally lost every good team they've played. Tough to be impressed. |
16 | Clemson Tigers | [8-2] Close wins to average teams, and a blowout loss to Georgia. Hard to be impressed. |
17 | Army West Point | [9-0] I want to rank them higher. I really do. But American team. |
18 | Colorado Buffaloes | [8-2] Hard to believe Deion has them rolling so well. Nebraska loss is a head scratcher. Travis Hunter playing two positions mediocrely does not impress me. |
19 | Arizona State Sun Devils | [8-2] Maybe the least hyped 8-2 team in the country. Hard to find an impressive win, but hard to find a win against a team that didn't have some hype (except Kansas). |
20 | Iowa State Cyclones | [8-2] A team that has never won 10 games has lost 2 of their last three. Is it bad I don't want the streak to end? They could loss Farmageddon. |
21 | Tulane Green Wave | [9-2] Losses to the two P4 teams they played. Hard to be impressed. |
22 | Illinois Fighting Illini | [7-3] Someone has to be ranked. |
23 | South Carolina Gamecocks | [7-3] They have a great win over TAMU, plus wins over competitive spoilers (Kentucky and Vanderbilt?) |
24 | Kansas State Wildcats | [7-3] Ranking them solely on klieman's ability as a coach! |
25 | Syracuse Orange | [7-3] Have a good win over... UNLV? |
