• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Oregon Ducks	Best team
2	Ohio State Buckeyes	Second best team
3	Texas Longhorns	Most complete team
4	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	Great defense and offense is coming on strong while I don’t think they will make it too far in the playoff I definitely see them winning a game maybe two
5	Penn State Nittany Lions	I’d say they have the better loss than notre dame but they also win in really ugly ways so I don’t trust them
6	Georgia Bulldogs	Beat Tennessee
7	Tennessee Volunteers	Lost to UGA
8	SMU Mustangs	Best acc team as of right now we will learn a lot about who they are in the championship
9	Miami Hurricanes	The win over Florida now carries a lot more weight than it did 2 weeks ago
10	Alabama Crimson Tide	I would argue they have better losses than ole miss so they should be higher idk it’s been a weird season
11	Ole Miss Rebels	I’m not sure ole miss should make the playoff with loses to Kentucky and Florida
12	Clemson Tigers	Lost big to UGA so they should be below the teams that beat UGA I guess
13	South Carolina Gamecocks	Lost to bama and ole miss so i believe they should be below bama and ole miss
14	Boise State Broncos	With army now out they should be the unanimous choice for the non p-4 spot. Barring a loss ofc
15	Arizona State Sun Devils	I don’t think any team from the big12 besides the conference champ should go but I do think asu has been great these past few weeks
16	BYU Cougars	Fallen off hard can still make it through the big12 championship but really not as good as we thought they were
17	Indiana Hoosiers	They just haven’t played a tough schedule and can’t compete with top tier talent. It’s impressive how far they made it but honestly nobody can say they are a better football team than asu
18	Iowa State Cyclones	The 8-3 abis
19	Texas A&M Aggies
20	Syracuse Orange
21	Illinois Fighting Illini
22	Missouri Tigers
23	Duke Blue Devils	Two losses to top 10 teams. Will probably finish the season 9-3 not too bad tbh
24	Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns	Shits a giggles
25	Florida Gators	Have to put Florida here. Easily the most difficult schedule to navigate this season along with injuries but they have still won multiple big games this team is scary
