| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes

Best win is a Texas team that is struggling on offense, I think Miami has a better resume |
| 3 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 4 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 5 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 6 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Haven’t looked elite yet in their cupcake competition, will learn a lot about them this weekend |
| 7 |
LSU Tigers
|
Clemson win continues to lose its luster and the offense has looked not great against power competition. I may even have them to high here |
| 8 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
|
| 9 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
|
| 10 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Looks legit |
| 11 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Probably to high here but they are 2-0 in SEC play already |
| 12 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Let’s see Arch in conference play before we continue with top 10 rankings talk |
| 13 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
|
| 14 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
Have not been impressed at all by this team, Kstate win doesn’t look great and struggled against central Arkansas. Going to need to see them beat a team with a pulse before they go any further up |
| 15 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Looks good offensively |
| 16 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 17 |
Missouri Tigers
|
kU win looks better and i think the South Carolina win is better then Vanderbilt’s with sellers playing the whole game |
| 18 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
|
| 19 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
Clemson win is losing its luster fast |
| 20 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 21 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 22 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Understandably 1-2 but they still look like a good team |
| 23 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
|
| 24 |
Memphis Tigers

G5 playoff bid? |
| 25 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
