Guess who’s back, back again. Jax is back, tell a friend.
It’s rivalry-week folks and boy, do we have a treat for you. Due to the Georgia basketball game going on in Maui earlier today, we weren’t able to put together a full playoff rankings preview like last week, but we’ll go ahead and give you our expected Top 25 list before the committee reveals theirs.
Remember, just like last week, this method of ranking is based on how we think the committee will evaluate teams and not just our own personal opinion on the nation’s best.
For record’s sake, we’ll try to be as objective as possible, but this is how we see the committee ranking the Top 25 in just under an hour.
You ready? Here we go.
Projected Top 25
- LSU
- Ohio State
- Clemson
- Georgia
- Alabama
- Utah
- Oklahoma
- Minnesota
- Florida
- Wisconsin
- Penn State
- Michigan
- Baylor
- Notre Dame
- Auburn
- Oregon
- Iowa
- Memphis
- Cincinnati
- Boise State
- Oklahoma State
- Iowa State
- USC
- App State
- Virginia Tech
As mentioned above, these aren’t exactly the rankings we would use, but it’s how we think the committee will rank the teams.
We are factoring in strength of schedule, margin of victory, quality losses and when teams lost, in addition to other details.
Last week, we got 9 of the Top 10 teams correct, and the majority of their spots in line too.
Can we up the performance this week? Only time will tell.
Make sure to follow along with UGA Wire tonight as we break down the rankings in a live-blog on the site.
