Rank	Team	Reason
1	Ohio State Buckeyes	Undisputed!
2	Oregon Ducks	Split 2 games with the national champion. Undefeated otherwise. Wins over Boise and PSU in the playoff field. I know they lack playoff wins and got bounced by OSU but I give them the edge over ND.
3	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	Great team with great wins overcoming a lot of adversity.
4	Penn State Nittany Lions	Only lost to the 3 teams above them and had some solid playoff wins.
5	Indiana Hoosiers	Only lost to the title game participants. No marquee win but...
6	Georgia Bulldogs	Above Texas because they have the 2 head to head wins.
7	Texas Longhorns	Overrated but I can't put them much lower.
8	Tennessee Volunteers
9	Boise State Broncos
10	SMU Mustangs
11	Ole Miss Rebels
12	Arizona State Sun Devils
13	BYU Cougars
14	Iowa State Cyclones
15	Clemson Tigers
16	Miami Hurricanes
