| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
...Oregon's VERY close to usurping them for the #1 spot (especially when you compare the wins)...but the fact that it took them 2 OTs to beat Penn State is, admittedly, Ohio State's saving grace here... |
| 2 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 3 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 4 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 5 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Not super sure if they should be THIS high...LSU may not be the marquee win that many would think they would be in a month's time... |
| 6 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 7 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
|
| 8 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
|
| 9 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Maybe should keep the team that BEAT Bama up above them...but thanks to the Hoos, I won't have to entertain that... |
| 10 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Maybe a bit TOO kind to the Noles here...but hey, if you wallop Alabama, you get some decent wiggle room... |
| 11 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Still not sure what to think of the Sooners...no Mateer to get 'ir done might complicate matters... |
| 12 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
|
| 13 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
|
| 14 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Weird to think how to rank these guys...guess it's feast or famine in Tuscaloosa... |
| 15 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 16 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 17 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
The nerds are getting hot hot hot!!! |
| 18 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 19 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
Hot hot hot super nerds!!! |
| 20 |
Missouri Tigers
|
lmao how are we 5-0? I guess I have to enjoy this position before the Alabama game brings us down to Earth... |
| 21 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 22 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
Talk about quite the bounceback, huh? Though I suppose it means that Purdue will be quite a pickle to play against as a result... |
| 23 |
BYU Cougars
|
|
| 24 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
Imagine telling people back in the early 2000's that there will be a point where just VIRGINIA (no Tech) would be the best (power) team in the state...sheesh... |
| 25 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
...Arizona State is probably still better (and could very well beat them in Tempe)...but sorry, they still lost to the Bulldogs, so the clanga remains (granted, they would be booted out if they lost to the Vols in regulation)... |
