| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Took care of business in Seattle, now time to make Minnesota wish for hockey season. |
| 2 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Gutsy win despite almost blowing it in the whiteout. |
| 3 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Just got passed by the strength of Oregon's win. Still a huge opportunity ahead to help bury their rival in Tallahassee after their upset this weekend. |
| 4 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
I'm just that much of a believer. Trap game against a 4-0 in-state rival coming up next scares me though. |
| 5 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Good win against LSU, even if things got a little tight at the end. |
| 6 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Gusty win at Iowa to say the least. |
| 7 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Just gotta survive and keep winning. |
| 8 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Brutal. Didn't penalize them too hard since top 10 game in overtime. But once again, a James Franklin blue ball special. |
| 9 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Solid resume so far and a nice time for a game against Kent State. |
| 10 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
Took care of business against Arizona, now Cincy awaits. |
| 11 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Well that'll quiet some of the pressure against DeBoer... no way he follows that up with a loss to Vandy again, right? |
| 12 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Must be nice to be Bama and beat Georgia all the time. |
| 13 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Whew. |
| 14 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
Will Diego do it again? We shall see. |
| 15 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Looked testy at first, but still a good win. |
| 16 |
LSU Tigers
|
As unimpressive as their offense has been, losing by one possession keeps them from falling further. But can't justify them ahead of a couple of undefeated teams. |
| 17 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Well they can start moving back up my rankings if they keep winning. |
| 18 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Week off before they should handle business against a tail spinning Wisconsin. |
| 19 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Looking ahead sucks. One day, this upcoming matchup will be a return to the glory days of the FSU Miami rivalry, next day it's a scary time to prevent the season from starting to slip away. |
| 20 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
Whew. |
| 21 |
Utah Utes
|
Thank you for rewarding my faith in keeping you ranked. |
| 22 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
Thank you also for rewarding my faith in keeping you ranked. |
| 23 |
BYU Cougars
|
|
| 24 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
Might as well rank them since that FSU win was massive, and 4-1 isn't the worst record to keep ranked. Thin ice because of the NC State loss though. |
| 25 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Wanted to stay being harsh on them but Love having a big day and a favorable rest of the schedule after losing two one possession games made me decide to ease up a bit on the Irish. Thin ice though. |
