Overall Rationale: Top 3 are all right there. 5-9 are very close with each other as well.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Indiana Hoosiers

(-) Only 10-0 team. Penn St is still a top 10 talent composite team and hostile environment. |
| 2 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
(-) Ranked Road Win |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
(-) Beat Purdue, woo. Yes their game vs Penn St was better than Indiana's. Reverse for Illinois. Home vs Away. |
| 4 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
(+1) Welcome back to your week 8 ranking. Dominated X#6, AP#7 BYU |
| 5 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
(-1) Beat fired head coach LSU. They didn't fall down as much as TTU moved up, I feel TTU is the best 1 loss team in the country by a good margin. Also their only loss they didn't have their QB. |
