Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oregon Ducks | Only undefeated team left, 12-0 after win over Washington |
2 | Texas Longhorns | Got their first ranked win of the year over Texas A&M with a great defensive performance. |
3 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Started slow but scored 44 unanswered to blowout Maryland and qualify for the B1G championship. Ahead of ND based on strength of schedule |
4 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Pulled away in the second half to defeat USC. Has looked very good recently |
5 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Bad loss at home against a 5-loss Michigan team. However, Michigan is still a good team: they have had a very tough schedule, plus it’s The Game. Also, wins over PSU and Indiana. |
6 | Georgia Bulldogs | Came back to beat Georgia Tech in 8OT thriller. Not a good performance as seen recently, but SOS keeps them at 6. |
7 | Tennessee Volunteers | Started slow, but got it together to convincingly defeat Vanderbilt. Win over Bama keeps them at 7. |
8 | SMU Mustangs | Looks very good. However no Top 25 wins. |
9 | Boise State Broncos | Ashton Jeanty is insane. However, they have a weak SOS; ahead of Indiana based on win over UNLV+ strength of loss |
10 | Indiana Hoosiers | Absolute destruction of Purdue. However, no top 25 wins. |
11 | Arizona State Sun Devils | Been very good, also some good wins over KSU and BYU, plus dominant over Arizona this week. |
12 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Pulled away in 2H to beat Auburn handedly. Great win over Georgia but 2 bad losses to Vandy and Oklahoma. |
13 | Ole Miss Rebels | Closer than expected game against Miss. State. Behind Bama cause awful loss to Kentucky. |
14 | South Carolina Gamecocks | Great win over Clemson. Behind Bama and Ole Miss because they lost to both. |
15 | Miami Hurricanes | I don’t want to finish these |
16 | Iowa State Cyclones | |
