| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Alas, the Hoosier prophecy has been fufilled! |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Hey, if we're moving based off conference championship game results... |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Maybe a bit harsh to drop them to #3 for such a close loss...but hey, what else could I do lol? |
| 4 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Crushed BYU (again) harder than the mayor of Nauvoo... |
| 5 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Quack quack, you're a villain again! |
| 6 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
If there was an opportunity for the Rebs to go one and done...it MIGHT be this one...depending on how the vibes are... |
| 7 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
I doth wonder...who shall Notre Dame support in the battle of teams who beat them? |
| 8 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
...I will be fair and say that Irish fans HAVE a case to be angry and mopey - especially considering the rugpull the Committee did - even if their complaints largely come off as a sort of "Well, I-I didn't WANT to be here anyway!" thing (because frankly, it is)... |
| 9 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
banish the elephants, OK? |
| 10 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
No Playoff? Then how about a (kind of unexpected but not unwelcome) Heisman for compensation? |
| 11 |
Utah Utes
|
Yeah...at least they didn't lose to the Red Raiders twice... |
| 12 |
BYU Cougars
|
...well, I guess THIS faith-based institution is willing to gorge their sorrows on Pop-Tarts at least (it IS established in their culture after all, haha) |
| 13 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
...well, I guess they really WERE saved by the same "can't be punished for CCG loss" caveat that kept them out last year...can't say that's a surprise... |
| 14 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Imagine how less drama/doomposting we would've seen had Miami simply been ahead all along... |
| 15 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Still the better 3-loss team Bama, I'd argue...maybe...we'll see... |
| 16 |
James Madison Dukes
|
Hey, don't fret ACC! At least you still got a Virginia team and/or a "Duke" conference champion in! |
| 17 |
USC Trojans
|
Uh, remember the Alamo, bro! |
| 18 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
How well will a landshark handle a SECOND round of Green Waves? |
| 19 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
Wa...hoofs... |
| 20 |
North Texas Mean Green
|
Alas, the lights were just too mean and green... |
| 21 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Time for the Wolverines to once again be the "epic owner of SEC teams" come bowl season? |
| 22 |
Arizona Wildcats
|
Bear Down for the Nochebuena Bowl... |
| 23 |
Houston Cougars
|
Wow, free home game(ish)! |
| 24 |
Navy Midshipmen
|
Beat Army! Anyway, can't wait for all the Venezuela jokes on Saturday...surely those won't get old... |
| 25 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
lowkey looking forward to them playing Vandy...that's a real highlight among highlights! |
