| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
I'm having a hard time seeing anyone beating Ohio State |
| 2 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Is this the year Oregon makes a natty run? Impressive win in a difficult environment |
| 3 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Miami looking more and more like the ACC favorite after a bye week |
| 4 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Might A&M be the best team in the SEC? |
| 5 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Let's hope Michael Hawkins can fill in well for Oklahoma in Mateer's absence |
| 6 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Trinidad Chambliss for Heisman? |
| 7 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
One does not simply walk into Iowa and have a good time |
| 8 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Good bye week for the Red Raiders |
| 9 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Didn't think Alabama-Vanderbilt would ever be the most intriguing game in the SEC at any point |
| 10 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Still a talented team, but some serious concerns are starting to show for Georgia. |
| 11 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Most predictable result ever. |
| 12 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Can Texas show some offensive life against Florida? |
| 13 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Watch out for Mizzou in the SEC, who now has a bye to prepare for Bama |
| 14 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
Arguably Iowa State's best performance of the season against Arizona. More of that please |
| 15 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Miss State is a better win than people want to give them credit for |
| 16 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
FSU forgot they weren't playing Kent State anymore |
| 17 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
Tech looking worse and worse when they should start looking better and better |
| 18 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
Pavia for Heisman if they beat Bama again? |
| 19 |
LSU Tigers
|
Where did LSU's offense go? |
| 20 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Welcome back Coach Moore |
| 21 |
Memphis Tigers
|
Still my top G5 team |
| 22 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
Might be the first time I've ever ranked Virginia |
| 23 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
What a world where the ND offense is miles better than their defense |
| 24 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
Despite their best efforts, Illinois got a nice win over USC at home. They needed that. |
| 25 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
Losing to Tennessee in OT isn't reason to drop Miss State from the top 25, might beat A&M this weekend |
