| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
16-0. HOLY CRAP!!! |
| 2 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Played their hearts out. really showed everyone what they're about. I debated lowering them because they played to injure in the first half and not to win, but in the second half they played the game and performed better. Bain and mezadore are insane. |
| 3 |
Oregon Ducks
|
I think oregon had an off-day the second time around vs indiana and them dominating two playoff games is enough to show their strength |
| 4 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
what an offense. what heart. |
| 5 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
they just gave up. they came in going through the motions expecting to be last year's team. |
| 6 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
too much of a break and they weren't ready for game speed. |
| 7 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
overrated imo. Been saying this for a while now. |
| 8 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Still the only SEC team to actually win games the past 3 years lmao. they played phenomenal football at the end of the season. |
| 9 |
BYU Cougars
|
Filled up on pop-tarts i hope. what an ending to the season. I firmly beleive they should've gotten a shot at the playoffs |
| 10 |
Utah Utes
|
What a strong showing at the end. |
| 11 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Overrated as always all year. I believe the only +500 team they beat is ND who's shown to be pussies. |
| 12 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
called it. they had an awful draw this year. wayyy better than other teams in the playoffs |
| 13 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
beautiful heart and nice ending to a beautiful season |
| 14 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
I think they just got exposed for the 3rd time in 5 weeks? i wouldn't even call that OU win good because I also claimed OU was flawed. neither should've been in the playoffs. how many times do they have to get blown away in a row for them to not make the playoffs? |
| 15 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
exposed as i said they'd be |
| 16 |
James Madison Dukes
|
hard fought against a great Oregon team |
| 17 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
meh |
| 18 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
Showed tons of heart against a great BYU team. heartbreaking finish. |
| 19 |
Houston Cougars
|
nice finish to the year. |
| 20 |
Navy Midshipmen
|
eagle |
| 21 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
pussies. |
| 22 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
coach on onlyfans during halftimes of games? players were blackmailing him to get PT? showed up in the first half of texas game but they aren't very good. expecting a full rehaul next year |
| 23 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
replaced USC here for me. gutsy win |
| 24 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
lmao. bum pavia. |
| 25 |
North Texas Mean Green
|
loved this team all year. they deserve a final one here for me. |
