| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
1st until proven otherwise |
| 2 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
2nd until proven otherwise |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
best win of the sec teams so far |
| 4 |
Oregon Ducks
|
have pretty much run everyone over even if competition is really eh, so 4th until proven otherwise |
| 5 |
LSU Tigers
|
clemson win in retrospect bumps them down a smidge, also has florida keeping them up here |
| 6 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
decisive ranked win against alabama |
| 7 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
ranked win against notre dame, which is easily the best 0-2 team |
| 8 |
Texas Longhorns
|
only loss is to #1 |
| 9 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
ranked win against michigan even if rest of the resume is mid |
| 10 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
south carolina would be in rv if it existed here so near-ranked win |
| 11 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
p5 win/blowout against duke, mostly until proven otherwise |
| 12 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
4-0 but truthfully have no clue if they are a top 10 team or an unranked team that is undefeated |
| 13 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
2 p5 wins |
| 14 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
2 p5 wins, one of them being clemson |
| 15 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
really has not been tested yet even with 3-0 record |
| 16 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
texas tech but somehow even less tested, purely here on poll inertia and vibes |
| 17 |
Auburn Tigers
|
3-0 with best win being baylor (baylor feels alright) |
| 18 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
p5 win against syracuse and quality loss to georgia should not drop them much |
| 19 |
Utah Utes
|
3-0 and I guess they blew out ucla? |
| 20 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
2-0 with unc win (idk about unc though) |
| 21 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
placed mostly in relation with florida state game (compare to tennessee at least having a closer loss against georgia) |
| 22 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
just under alabama due to oklahoma being a lower rank than florida state |
| 23 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
0-2 but the losses were VERY close to #2 and #7 |
| 24 |
California Golden Bears
|
extremely unsure about this team but they are 3-0 and just beat minnesota, so why not |
| 25 |
Houston Cougars
|
3-0 fairly comfortably, best win is colorado though |
