Cig is #1 until proven otherwise. |

Notre Dame Fighting Irish

As much as America is ready for Bama to be irrelevant again, we may have to wait at least another year. |

| 10 |
Penn State Nittany Lions

Might be secretly kind of good. It will be interesting to see how they fare once they start playing Big Ten opponents. |
| 11 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
I thought my computer poll had them too low, but then I realized this is Ohio State and I don't care. |
| 12 |
USC Trojans
|
This Lincoln Riley USC team is starting to look a lot like every other Lincoln Riley USC team. |

I'm probably going to regret this. |
| 22 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders

I am currently entertaining the possibility that each of Oregon, Oklahoma State, and Tulsa are roughly #20-30 range. |
