Ohio State Buckeyes

best team |
| 2 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
best sec team, no great wins, but also no losses in sec |
| 3 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
2 best team, but not "winning" their conf at the moment. |
| 4 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
sure uga/vandy/mizzou/tenn wins is better than byu/utah/houston BUT HOW CAN YOU LOSE TO FLORIDA STATE! SO BAD! also texas tech is currently "big xii champion" so that pushes them up (i think the top 4 byes should still be conf champs and pac12/oldbigxii/bigeast should all come back) |
| 5 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
best 1 loss, uga win looks great, what is that florida state loss tho |
| 6 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
v good, top 4 talent wise |
| 7 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
bama > uga > ole miss, h2h how she rolls |
| 8 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
also need that big win, pitt and uga are both chance to secure spot without winning acc |
| 9 |
Oregon Ducks
|
oregon is missing a big win, iowa aint it |
| 10 |
BYU Cougars
|
1 loss to best team in big xii, thats good season and utah win looks better each week |
| 11 |
Texas Longhorns
|
they're back, ou win and vandy win prop them up and a great ohio state loss. florida loss is tough, but hey they beat the teams they are close with |
| 12 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
better than texas? maybe? but why else do we play the games |
| 13 |
Utah Utes
|
if oklahoma gets credit for michigan and tennessee as their best wins and losses to ole miss and texas then utah deserves the same for a cincy and arizona state wins with byu and texas tech lossses |
| 14 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
no major wins, but great losses, could sneak in with a upset |
| 15 |
Virginia Cavaliers

|
lost to the teams better than them and beat the ones worse. nebraska loss holding them back from a top 15 ranking probs. should be lower, but arizona state, iowa, mizzou and tenneesse dont deserve it |
| 22 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
uva beat l'ville beat miami (l'ville also beat pitt, who has no good wins ncstate or floridastate) beat notre dame beat usc beat michigan in h2h. should be lower, but arizona state, iowa, mizzou and tenneesse dont deserve it |
| 23 |
USF Bulls
|
they beat unt and memphis and tulane have BAD losses to keep them off. hard to punish USF for the miami loss when only 1 conf loss to memphis (who lost to tulane btw). aka the american is a mess so just let it be the final 3 spots for G5. someone will make it, whomever it is. |
| 24 |
North Texas Mean Green
|
1 loss american team, win the conf they are win |
| 25 |
James Madison Dukes
|
can win if chaos reigns in the america, just keep the path. l'ville loss is tough though. |
