| 4 |

| 8 |
Kentucky Wildcats

+1 - on bye |
| 9 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
+1 - beat Navy; they either win against Miami or are probably not making the playoffs |
| 10 |
Texas Longhorns
|
+1 - This is what 4 ranked wins (and Florida in a near ranked position) does |
| 11 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
+1 - Passes eye test but suffers from their best win being Louisville and having legit potential to have no ranked wins at all if they go 11-1 |
| 12 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
-8 - USC. really. I spend weeks basically dumping on USC for not beating anyone good and this happens |

(+16) - you are more aggravating to rank than Texas |
| 20 |
Arizona Wildcats
|
-7 - Best win is Cinci which keeps them from dropping too much |
| 21 |
Boise State Broncos
|
E - Should not be that close against Texas State but they won |
| 22 |
UTSA Roadrunners
|
E - on bye |
| 23 |
New Mexico Lobos
|
(+4) - American frontrunner even if this is sketchy at times |
| 24 |
Missouri Tigers
|
(+5) - Benefits from attrition of everyone else falling apart |
| 25 |
Northwestern Wildcats
|
-11 - Oregon is not a good team Next 10: I'll figure this out later, basically all remaining 2 loss P4 teams, Liberty, Cincinnati, OK State, Oregon and maybe Florida are somewhere here |
