StFuzzySlippers	3	Can't blame anyone for putting them over UGA, but I was expecting a better offensive performance from them in the ccg—not to take anything away from Indiana's fantastic defense.
thatoneguyD13	3	Tier 1. Statistically elite defense with theoretically elite offense. Wins over #15 at home and #18 on the road. Only loss to #1 by 3.

_THE__BOULDER_	4	I've had Indiana at #1 for weeks now, and I felt like OSU deserved to move down for losing the CCG without being penalized in terms of standing within the CFP. With that in mind, they still deserved a bye, but I ranked the 3 conference champions above OSU this round. They should be arguably 3rd or 4th and I could go either way on that.

LightningDusty	4	↓2 This drop is not at all about punishing Ohio State. If Georgia and Texas Tech had squeaked by their opponents, I'd probably have kept the Buckeyes at #2. However, I couldn't ignore those impressive performances by the other schools. The loss was more annoying than anything. Have a good playoff run and you'll be fine.

mountain_troop86	4	Still an incredibly good team.
