| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
pretty chaotic week, but the Buckeyes maintain the top spot with another dominant win |
| 2 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Hurricane season keeps on rolling |
| 3 |
Oregon Ducks
|
bye week |
| 4 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
might as well be a bye week |
| 5 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
I keep thinking each week Tech will finally pull out one of those classic "how did they lose that?" games but so far they've refused to trip themselves up behind that elite defense |
| 6 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
bye week |
| 7 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
I was all in on this being the week the Texas 8-4 Aggies made an appearance, but I was proven wrong and they keep rolling into October as the games will continue to ramp up in difficulty |
| 8 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
bye week |
| 9 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Closer than they'd like, but that's probably going to end up being a very good win later down the road as Vandy does look legitimately good |
| 10 |
BYU Cougars
|
I'm not entirely sure why it seems like national media refuse to acknowledge that BYU is actually like really good. Elite defense will keep them in any fight and that Texas Tech game in November looks more and more like the preview for the Big 12 championship. |
| 11 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
good bounce back, next week you can take your general disapproval towards the state of alabama out on the other team from over the border |
| 12 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
bye week |
| 13 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
UVA losing to NC State is actually just the universe making sure the Wolfpack suffer from a sick joke because the Hoos are winning the ACC this year and there is nothing funnier than beating the undefeated in conference ACC champions in an out of conference matchup that meant nothing. |
| 14 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
had me for a minute but a fairly comfortable win came around eventually. |
| 15 |
Memphis Tigers
|
Memphis takes the top spot of the run of "pretty good AAC teams" with their bowl eligibility and overall solid wins to this point |
| 16 |
USF Bulls
|
I still don't know why USF isn't ranked by more polls, one tough loss to a top 3 team that's looked hard to stop all season should not completely undo their otherwise impressive resume |
| 17 |
North Texas Mean Green
|
This week's game is going to be a big moment for UNT to prove themselves as they face a very talented and gritty USF team. They certainly can do it, this should be an elite game that's flying under them radar. |
| 18 |
Navy Midshipmen
|
I really don't know if Navy is good, but they are undefeated and it's hard not to rank a team that's made it this far without a loss |
