14 Utah Utes Predicted Record: 11-1

Losses: BYU
15 Florida Gators Predicted Record: 9-3

Losses: @Missouri (17-45), @Texas, Georgia

Comment: I'm not really sure what to do with this team to be honest, because on the one hand that loss to Missouri was bad and they should probably drop more, but at the same time they have that big win against Ole Miss. It doesn't help that I'm not all that sold on Mississippi State, who have the win over Missouri and is the reason I'm not all that sold on them either. It's a mess but for now I'm willing to give Florida the benefit base on their Ole Miss win.
16 USC Trojans Predicted Record: 9-3

Losses: Oregon (27-41), Ohio State, @Indiana
17 Mississippi State Bulldogs Predicted Record: 8-4

Losses: Alabama (23-56), @LSU, @Texas, @Ole Miss

Comment: It is strange for me to have them jump into my rankings after a loss, but with my prediction based ballots an expected loss doesn't necessarily hurt you, and other results can change my perception of your team, and in this case Missouri beating Florida certainly raised my opinion of the Bulldogs. I'm still not all that sold on them or Missouri, and I'm not sure where to draw the lines here.
18 Iowa Hawkeyes Predicted Record: 11-1

Losses: Ohio State (14-31)

Comment: Expected Loss doesn't really hurt them, more just causes them to stall a bit while other teams take advantage
19 UCLA Bruins Predicted Record: 10-2

Losses: @Oregon, USC
20 Missouri Tigers Predicted Record: 8-4

Losses: @Mississippi State (24-31), @Ole Miss, Texas, @Georgia

Comment: Great win against Florida combined with the loss to Mississippi State has me unsure of these guys as well.
21 Houston Cougars Predicted Record: 10-2

Losses: @Texas Tech (26-28), @Utah
22 Pittsburgh Panthers Predicted Record: 11-1

Losses: @Miami

Comment: I have zero idea if anyone outside of Miami is any good in the ACC, my best guess right now is this Pitt team.
23 Wisconsin Badgers Predicted Record: 8-4

Losses: Notre Dame (13-41), @UCLA, USC, @Iowa
24 Boise State Broncos Predicted Record: 11-1

Losses: @Oregon (27-34)
25 North Dakota State Bison Predicted Record: 12-0

Comment: They didn't get the chance to play anyone of note in the NonCon, but they've been taking care of business and racked up their second shutout of the year against Wyoming. If both them and Boise State win out, it'll be an interesting conversation as to which team is going to be the G6 rep in the playoffs.
