Overall Rationale: the rules are simple - power 4 teams cannot be ranked above other power 4 teams with less losses, undefeated > 1 loss > 2 loss > 3 loss - group of 5 teams are inserted as i see fit
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
every day is a day closer to November 29th |
| 2 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
i got to watch them in person! yeah they're good. struggled a bit in the first half but they turned it on in the second half |
| 3 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
you are SO LUCKY that south carolina has a dead man walking at HC, because you should be below georgia tech right now. aggieland, you are on borrowed time |
| 4 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
LEGIT NATTY CONTENDER idc what anyone says |
| 5 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
uh oh... |
| 6 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
awfully mean of you to beat the team you're gonna coach next year |
| 7 |
Oregon Ducks
|
still not sure how good they are |
| 8 |
BYU Cougars
|
probably in that "good but not great" tier |
| 9 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
so... yeah... the rules of my rankings specify that all one loss Power 4 teams must be ranked against two loss teams... but let's be clear here, this team SUCKS and really should be ranked in like the 20s |
| 10 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
typically my rule is that if you have the same record as another team that beat you, you have to be ranked below them. i'm breaking that rule for notre dame, who is probably one of the 5 best teams in the nation and are only here because they lost to 2 pretty good teams when they were still trying to find their identity as a team. they have found it now and they are a completely different team than they were in september. |
| 11 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
probably should be higher, but the rules are the rules. might be a title contender though |
| 12 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
alabama needs to take auburn seriously, because there's a really good chance they don't win that game. |
| 13 |
Utah Utes
|
they should make the playoff but sadly i think they're going to be on the outside looking in |
| 14 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
not technically out of the playoff race yet... |
| 15 |
USC Trojans
|
can still win the big ten but they need a LOT of help |
| 16 |
North Texas Mean Green
|
LET'S GO CRAZY!!! i think north texas is the best G5 team and i (maybe irrationally) believe they could actually beat any of the teams ranked below them. am i crazy? i might be crazy |
| 17 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
ohio state better beat this team |
| 18 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
i don't really know what to say about them so imma just say that carson beck definitely looks like sid the sloth |
| 19 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|

| 20 |
Houston Cougars
|

| 21 |
Texas Longhorns
|
yeouch... |
| 22 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|

| 23 |
James Madison Dukes
|
i don't really know what to do with these last few spots, but i've had james madison ranked around here, they're gonna stay here |
| 24 |
Navy Midshipmen
|
HOW ABOUT NAVY??? what a win against USF!! they deserve some national recognition |
| 25 |
Connecticut Huskies
|
AND HOW ABOUT UCONN?!?!?! this team is way better than we give them credit for. they've only lost 3 games all in overtime to all good teams |
