As we go through my first Top 25 rankings, let’s remember a couple things. First, I don’t care what AP has to say. Second, rankings should never come out until after at least one week of play. That’s why I waited. Now, let’s have some fun shall we?
1. Alabama
Still pretty good.
2. Georgia
Big win early to set them up for a one loss playoff berth later.
3. Ohio State
Plenty of weapons. They’ll be fine.
4. Oklahoma
Defense ain’t quite there.
5. UCLA
Fight me. Big two wins to start. Chip Kelly’s visor is back.
6. Cincy
Have to win big every week.
7. Iowa
Impressive win over an overrated Indiana.
8. Texas A&M
Some work to do even with a blowout Week 1.
9. Clemson
Woof. That offense.
10. Iowa State
Always gets off to slow starts. Check back after the Iowa game.
11. Notre Dame
By the skin of their teeth.
12. Texas
Back? Not sure. But a great Week 1 win in a trap game.
13. Penn State
Huge road win, albeit pretty ugly at times. B10 football.
14. Virginia Tech
Can’t tell if they’re good or UNC stinks. Braxton Burmeister is fun to say.
15. USC
Bound to disappoint eventually. Good start.
16. Ole Miss
One of the best offenses in the country.
17. Oregon
Getting ahead of a blowout loss to Ohio State.
18. Coastal Carolina
Weak schedule, good football team.
19. NC State
Just might be the second best team in the ACC this year, if that means anything.
20. Florida
I don’t trust their QB situation quite yet.
21. Liberty
Malik Willis.
22. Auburn
Can’t quit Bo Nix yet.
23. Wisconsin
Still think they’ll be okay.
24. Utah
Loser of this weekend’s game goes.
25. BYU
Go Cougs.
Also considered: Miami (FL), Michigan State, Arizona State, UCF, Marshall, Michigan
