Turned a real corner I think last week against Miss St and now just crushed a bad but somehow highly respected Texas team. Might not make the SEC CCG so gets a week of rest at the right time of year, look out for them in the playoff. Model Rank: 6 |
| 4 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Okay....should not have been in the position they were but, only a team of that high of quality could pull that off. The comeback was more impressive. Model Rank: 3 |
| 5 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Yep. Model Rank: 7 |
| 6 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Did Lane coach both teams and that is why it was close? Model Rank: 8 |
| 7 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Thought Minnesota would give you a little more trouble but guess not. Model Rank: 4 |
| 8 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Now has 3 huge wins on the season. Weird team that finds ways to win and that is what matters. Model Rank: 12 |
| 9 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Its coming together at the right time of year. Model Rank: 13 |
| 10 |
BYU Cougars
|
Took until week 12 for you to realize you are allowed to blow out teams and that is why you might not make the playoffs...seriously. Model Rank: 9 |
| 11 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
They may have had a gauntlet earlier in the year but the OU defense was the best they've played in a long time and that's how you reacted. Auburn is gonna give them a real scare if not beat them. Model Rank: 14 |
| 12 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
Model Rank: 24 |
| 13 |
Utah Utes
|
You don't talk about fight club! But what was that defensive performance? Baylor is a very good offense but I didn't like seeing that. Model Rank: 15 |
| 14 |
USC Trojans
|
I still think this is another Lincoln Riley team that when matched against a tough, physical team, looks soft. They won which is what matters but don't see them as a legit contenders for anything. Model Rank: 18 |
| 15 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
ACC leader but not the best team. BC has only beaten an FCS team this season. Model Rank: 11 |
| 16 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Might be the best team (on paper) in the ACC but the coach and QB will find ways to fuck it up and now you pay for it. Model rank: 19 |
| 17 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Model Rank: 20 |
| 18 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
Guess the gas tank is fully out. Model Rank: 16 |
| 19 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Yeah knew this was coming. If A&M puts a complete game together, maybe even just half of one, this team is getting killed. Model Rank: 35 |
| 20 |
James Madison Dukes
|
When fully healthy, best G5 team but when banged up, very limited. Model Rank: 10 |
| 21 |
North Texas Mean Green
|
Might be the best team in the American but lost to USF who is now the 3rd/4th best team? American is confusing. Model Rank: 5 |
| 22 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Had to put someone here and I actually don't think you're terrible. Model Rank: 28 |
| 23 |
Houston Cougars
|
Part of this weird mix that can still make the Big12 title game. Model Rank: 17 |
| 24 |
Navy Midshipmen
|
May also be the best American team but who the hell knows. Model Rank: 25 |
| 25 |
Missouri Tigers
|
I think Miss St has finally just returned to who they are but you killed them and not many have done this season. Model Rank: 32 |
