Overall Rationale: Well, this week sucked. There aren't enough teams worth ranking right now, so take this top 25 with a grain of salt—a lot of these teams would be considerably lower than where I have them, if there was anyone else worth putting in their place. At least we have a few exceptions, like Oregon, which genuinely proved a lot with how well it battled back from adversity against Penn State. Ole Miss has also looked great the last couple weeks, even if I kinda expected them to take care of business against LSU, and Texas Tech got a considerable glow-up from Utah bouncing right back to form after their loss. Alabama and FSU are in a weird place, what with the former getting a big win but having their loss get worse, and the latter getting a bad loss but having their best win get better. I'm putting Mississippi State and Tulane in this week at the bottom, fuck you, who else am I gonna rank? Maryland??
