Overall Rationale: Good for you IU
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Always trust Google |
| 2 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
God I cannot wait for November 7th |
| 3 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Insane how the 25 team did this when an objectively more stacked 24 team lost 3 games. The Chambliss power up was real |
| 4 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Only losing to the national champs twice but BOY were both times just absolute BELT |
| 5 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Kirby getting outcoached late game by someone coaching his SECOND GAME with HALF a coaching staff in the quarterfinals is not a great sign |
| 6 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
It’s curious to see how Ohio State manages the post-Hartline era because the cotton bowl and the portal were NOT kind to them |
| 7 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Other than quarterback this was a complete team. Unfortunately Morton really hamstrung this team |
| 8 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Same as Tech but honestly I have faith in Reed to turn it around if he fixes his accuracy… somehow |
| 9 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Fuck the mouse and fuck Alabama |
| 10 |
BYU Cougars
|
Mormons and their Pop Tarts |
| 11 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Fuck the mouse and fuck Alabama |
| 12 |
Texas Longhorns
|
I WOKE UP FEELIN THE CHEEZIEST COACH |
| 13 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Lowkey they probably shouldn’t have been in the field either. I question the decision of brining back Mateer and Arbuckle |
| 14 |
Utah Utes
|
Bittersweet start to the Scalley era |
| 15 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
Hoos!!! (No not those ones IU fans) (not those ones either Ole Miss fans) |
| 16 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
Et tu Clark |
| 17 |
Houston Cougars
|
You guys looking for the REAL next Indiana? You’re looking probably at em. Fritz is also a miracle worker |
| 18 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
An Iowa that can occasionally score points like they did this year was dangerous. An Iowa that can CONSISTENTLY score points would be catastrophic for the Big Ten… perhaps… |
| 19 |
James Madison Dukes
|
JMU’s been gutted but it’s a program with a winning culture. Napier is a good replacement |
| 20 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
The Sonny Dykes reclamation project for TCU has been pretty neat |
| 21 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
That thing I said about JMU? Yeah I have my doubts here. Fritz and Sumrall built Tulane from nothing. I get prioritizing continuity but MAN Hall was a terrible choice |
| 22 |
North Texas Mean Green
|
That thing I said about Tulane? That ones actually the same here |
| 23 |
Navy Midshipmen
|
Navy and Notre Dame are rarely good at the same time, and yet here we are. Newberry looking like a real ship captain makes it all the more hilarious |
| 24 |
USC Trojans
|
Fuck you Lincoln Riley and FUCK you Jen Cohen |
| 25 |
SMU Mustangs
|
Rhett Lashlee not being poached by Arkansas says everything about the kind of man he is AND how impoverished Arkansas has become | DROPPED: (20) Michigan, (21) Arizona, (24) UConn, (25) Georgia Tech | HONORABLE MENTIONS: Michigan, Washington, Louisville, Western Michigan, Illinois |
