• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Indiana Hoosiers	Indiana has dominated everyone they've played with the exception of PSU. They will continue to stay #1 for me.
2	Ohio State Buckeyes	OSU is OSU. As far as I can tell they will continue to be so.
3	Texas A&M Aggies	Managed to pull out the win at home but to play that badly in the first half at home knocks you down from my #2 to my #3.
4	Georgia Bulldogs	Good win over Texas. With Alabama loss they move up to #4 from #5.
5	Texas Tech Red Raiders	Texas Tech continuing to show why they're the top dogs in the Big 12.
6	Ole Miss Rebels	Back and forth in the first half but managed to pitch a shutout and close out the game in the second half. Good work Rebs.
7	Oregon Ducks	Dominant win over Minnesota at home. Looking forward to their games against USC and Washington coming up.
8	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	Great win over a fairly good Pitt team.
9	Oklahoma Sooners	Great win over Alabama in Bryant Denny. While people may claim some calls were questionable, Oklahoma played well and the blocked FG before half ended up making the difference.
10	BYU Cougars	Cougs beat up on TCU. Good work BYU.
11	Alabama Crimson Tide	Loss to a good Oklahoma team at home. Gotta be better but they're still in the hunt.
12	Utah Utes	Utah rounds out the top 12 in my opinion due to some solid performances in basically every game they've won.
13	Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets	First ACC team on the list and despite being 9-1 they've absolutely been getting away with it. Tough, because I like them, but they essentially need to win out to prove they're in.
14	Vanderbilt Commodores
15	Miami Hurricanes
16	USC Trojans
17	Texas Longhorns
18	Michigan Wolverines
19	Virginia Cavaliers
20	Missouri Tigers
21	Tennessee Volunteers
22	James Madison Dukes
23	North Texas Mean Green
24	Navy Midshipmen
25	Pittsburgh Panthers
