| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
They’re still the champs. Gotta beat the champs to be number 1 |
| 2 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Very good win over OSU but that first half was worrying |
| 3 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Best win of the year so far. Was able to block out the noise |
| 4 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Thought they should’ve beat WF by more |
| 5 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 6 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Play a good team and maybe we’ll see something |
| 7 |
Alabama Crimson Tide

This trend of going down big early will bite them eventually |

Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 9 |
USC Trojans
|
|
