| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
manhandled michigan |
| 2 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
took care of business again... |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Looked good against a very good georgia tech team. I feel most people are underestimating the ACC this year. Miami wasn't a fluke. Only reason they're above TTech is they've got a better resume on paper. I'd take Ttech in a heartbeat. |
| 4 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Best offense in the country hands down. when they're clicking - they're clicking. |
| 5 |
Oregon Ducks
|
looking like a solid team. I don't feel they're the same level as the teams above though. something is missing here. |
| 6 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
The one decent team they play and they lose. If you look at my history i expected that. they had a super cupcake schedule other than ND week 1. |
| 7 |
BYU Cougars
|
i'm not sure why the hate. 1 loss team that's well-rounded. only lost to the best offense in the country. Roughly here is where i stop the 'contenders'. To be honest i'm not sure how anybody can compete with OSU Indiana and TTech. |
| 8 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
solid team but starting to look mid sometimes. Lane kiffin leaving isn't good. |
| 9 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Only reason they're up here is the h2h vs notre dame. And ND is better than the teams after it. |
| 10 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
we'll see. much improved. I think if Love is healthy they can give anyone a tough time. |
| 11 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Iowa++. |
| 12 |
North Texas Mean Green
|
Can't really tell if this offense will translate against P4 defenses. We'll see soon. I'm very confident they handle Tulane though pretty easily |
| 13 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
They play down to their competition. I think if they're focused they can give a fight to some of the teams on top. |
| 14 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
BTA on tennessee. i think i took out tennessee from my top 25 in like week 8, but still a good looking win. |
| 15 |
Utah Utes
|
I feel like they can lean on anyone but they're not playing to their potential... |
| 16 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
1-dynamic team. They got bailed by the refs against a really really bad auburn team. Don't care if it's the 'iron bowl'. That rivalry is less competitive than The Game. |
| 17 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Good win vs TAMU. but they lost 3 times. |
| 18 |
USC Trojans
|
other than the traveling 3 time zones they're a solid team... |
| 19 |
James Madison Dukes
|
meh, they're fine. I think they deserve this spot more than michigan for sure. |
| 20 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
gave up against rival at home. I know you were down to your 4th string rb but 0 targets to your best receiver and the Line was getting gashed. Defensive line played like wimps. Not a competitive team. |
| 21 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
Gave their heart out against a good georgia team. This defense is legit. |
| 22 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
They're fine. 2 losses isn't great. North Texas is gonna rip em a new one likely. |
| 23 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
where'd this come from??? 3 losses in a row and then just beat a dead horse for 40 points. holy cow.... Game wasn't even that close if you saw it. |
| 24 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Really tough luck of the draw with the schedule. I still think Iowa is better than half the teams above them but 4 losses is inexcusable. |
| 25 |
Washington Huskies
|
They're a solid team. Didn't know who else to put here. Was debating navy but i think washington played better. |
