Overall Rationale: What I would rank the top 25
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Number 1 until they lose |
| 2 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
If they lose badly to OSU they can drop a spot |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Clinches a bye if they can bama finally |
| 4 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Bye if they beat byu, home playoff game if they don’t? |
| 5 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Barley over A&M due to better L |
| 6 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Over ole miss due to lane kiffin |
| 7 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Shouldn’t be lower than here |
| 8 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
I think they’re safe to make a spot maybe not 100% host a game |
| 9 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Definitely on the bubble |
| 10 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Last team in, I think they’re in if they lose as long as byu doesn’t win |
| 11 |
BYU Cougars
|
Win and in, lose and out |
| 12 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
I understand the h2h against ND but the resume other than that….. |
| 13 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
Tough to have them this low but I don’t see them knocking anyone out |
| 14 |
Utah Utes
|
Probably out |
| 15 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Beat their rival but that UF lost ended their season |
| 16 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
Committee is praying they win |
| 17 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 18 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
Can they win with their coach already in Florida? |
| 19 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 20 |
North Texas Mean Green
|
Same thing as Tulane but Eric Morris seems more locked in |
| 21 |
Arizona Wildcats
|
|
| 22 |
James Madison Dukes
|
Would need a Duke win to even have a chance |
| 23 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
Sad ending to a great season |
| 24 |
Connecticut Huskies
|
I’m sorry about Mora leaving |
| 25 |
Navy Midshipmen
|
They deserve a ranking next to them |
