Alabama (1). Survived Ole Miss on the road.
Ohio State (4). Nothing tight about win at Oklahoma. Will get No. 1 votes.
Michigan (2). Colorado went up 21-7 early, but the final three quarters were a different story.
Louisville (12). Even Michael Vick thinks Lamar Jackson is that dude.
Houston (5). Cincy win tight for a spell, but Cougs’ defense carried the day.
Stanford (6). Perfectly fine win over USC. It was fine.
Clemson (7). Shortened game vs. FCS team, now short week before Georgia Tech.
Washington (9). Another easy win, this time over an FCS team.
Michigan State (17). Sparty looks legit. Impressive at Notre Dame.
Florida State (3). Lost to an outstanding team on the road, even though it was by a huge margin.
Texas A&M (11). Looking like a contender in the SEC West.
Oklahoma (8). Still good, but two losses means playoff chances likely gone.
LSU (16). Wild second half vs. Mississippi State, but they’ll take the win.
Mississippi (10). Another second-half letdown, this time against Alabama.
Georgia (21). Survived at Missouri, so, points for winning on the road.
Miami (23). Point differential third nationally; second in points allowed.
Arkansas (25). Blowout win and has Texas A&M on deck.
Wisconsin (13). Sat Corey Clement and struggled with Georgia State.
Texas (14). Lost a shootout on the road, has a bye before Big 12 play opens.
Tennessee (15). Not high on the Vols after a 9-point win over Ohio.
Baylor (NR). A very good offense they’ve got there in Waco.
North Carolina (22). Two-week lull in the schedule and now Pitt, FSU.
Florida (24). No defense has allowed fewer points (14).
Notre Dame (18). Sparty came to South Bend and left with Irish’s playoff hopes.
Nebraska (NR). Win over ranked team put Huskers at 3-0.
Dropped: No. 19 Oregon (dropped one on the road to unranked Nebraska), No. 20 Iowa (lost to FCS buzzsaw North Dakota State, and I wasn’t a big believer in the Hawkeyes anyway),

Also considered: North Dakota State (3-0), Oklahoma State (2-1).

Care to reformat this with his current rankings in front of the school? Kinda gave me an eye headache at first glance.

Thanks. Surprised he still has FSU in the top 10. I don't think the voters will be that charitable with a non-SEC team. The rest of it is pretty reasonable although I don't think we'll climb all the way to 16.
 
I can't see how Mississippi, Florida State, and Oklahoma can still be considered to 15 teams, especially considering that OU and Ole **** both have two losses. Also, Notre Dame still being ranked is a bit crazy as well. Glad to see us ahead of Tennessee considering how both teams looked against App State. We should also be ahead of Georgia. They have struggled all year thus far.
 
Louisville deserves to be top 2, I think we all knew FSU was overrated but good lord, you dont win like that against a team ranked that high and not deserve to move up to the top 2

Brush, why the **** is Georgia ranked ahead of y0us? Their 2pt win against Nichols state and barely beating missou must be so much better wins then we have....right?
 
Opinion are like you know what, so at least give him credit for publishing it. Having said that, I agree with most of the comments; Louisville and OSU might be special, the $EC is definitely over ranked, and OK lost badly to two very good teams, but they still lost badly.
 
Washington may end up being good, who knows. But their schedule to date should make them ineligible for a #8 ranking. They've played no one.
 
Taking personal bias out of it, you can't lose to anybody that badly and stay in the top 10. I'm not sure I buy us at 16, but it's a great spot for fsu.

OU and Ole Miss ahead of us with 2 losses. Say no more.

When did we start giving computers to rodents? Pretty ridiculous impulsive rankings there. My 3 year old niece would be more deliberative.
