NEW Teams that dropped: #11 Arizona State, #15 Florida, #21 SMU, #25 Alabama New to the poll: #21 Utah, #22 Missouri, #23 Ole Miss, #25 USF Some teams I like that I didn't rank because they either have one loss or haven't been fully convinced: Baylor, SMU, Arizona State, Arizona, Minnesota, Washington, Texas A&M, and Auburn Next week, I'll redo this all because by then, I'll feel 1/4 of the way through the year, and I'll better understand the team, so I may make more radical changes. Kind of already did that for some of these, but watched more games this weekend and re-watched some of last week's games, so I understood the teams better. Also need to stop with my biases from what I thought of these teams preseason, like Michigan, I probably shouldn't rank I just like them and thought that losing to Oklahoma isn't as bad as losing to unranked teams. |
