• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Oregon Ducks
2	Texas Longhorns
3	Ohio State Buckeyes	Still the only team in my rankings with two top-10 wins (PSU, Indiana), so they don't fall much
4	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
5	Penn State Nittany Lions
6	Georgia Bulldogs
7	Indiana Hoosiers
8	SMU Mustangs
9	Alabama Crimson Tide	Still feels too high with bad losses to Vanderbilt and Oklahoma, but have to weigh that against several quality wins.
10	Tennessee Volunteers
11	Miami Hurricanes
12	South Carolina Gamecocks
13	Ole Miss Rebels
14	Iowa State Cyclones
15	Boise State Broncos
16	BYU Cougars

20	Clemson Tigers
21	LSU Tigers
22	Texas A&M Aggies
23	Illinois Fighting Illini
24	Iowa Hawkeyes
25	Michigan Wolverines	5 loss team, but 4 of those to ranked teams, including numbers 1/2/7, and now a win over #3.
