Goz’s Weekly College Football Poll (Week 13)
This season I’ll be providing my own personal Top 25 poll each week during the college football season. My poll philosophy is ranking the teams I believe are the best twenty five best in the country following that given week’s games. Below are my rankings and comments about each week’ biggest shake up and changes.
1) Alabama
2) Ohio State
3) Michigan
4) Clemson
5) Washington
6) Louisville
7) Wisconsin
8) Oklahoma
9) Penn State
10) Western Michigan
11) Colorado
12) Florida
13) Oklahoma State
14) Auburn
15) USC
16) Florida State
17) Houston
18) Washington State
19) Texas A&M
20) LSU
21) Nebraska
22) Utah
23) West Virginia
24) Stanford
25) Boise State
Louisville Only to #6- The Cardinals lost by 26 points to Houston on Thursday night. Houston is also a team that has lost to Navy and SMU but has defeated Oklahoma. I can’t penalize Louisville too much by losing to a top 4 team in the country and now a top 20 team in the country. Both games were also on the road. I’ll still take Lamar Jackson in a matchup with most teams in the country.
Western Michigan Seriously in The Top 10?!- While the college football playoff committee may not be giving the Broncos from Kalamazoo much love in their rankings, I’ll continue to show them the respect they deserve. The Broncos are undefeated, and have been dominant in doing so. Besides the opening win over Northwestern, no other opponent has been within thirteen points of this team. Some 2 loss Power 5 teams are above Western Michigan but I can’t find much more to get keep this team out of my to ten.
Ohio State vs Michigan, Washington vs Washington State, Colorado vs Utah- What team can make the biggest move? A lot of huge matchups are on the way but it’s actually Oklahoma that could benefit the most. We know the winner of Michigan-Ohio State will remain in the top 4, Washington is likely to move up into the Top 4 by default, but it could actually be Oklahoma that benefits the most. The Sooners are on a bye week then get the Oklahoma State Cowboys the final weekend. It looks like the soon to be results could really benefit Coach Bob Stoops and his team.
