1. Clemson (6-0) — The people knocking this team right now are jumping the gun.
2. Alabama (6-0) — The run defense concerns are real.
3. LSU (6-0) — For all the talk about Joe Burrow, don't forget about this running game.
4. Ohio State (6-0) — Can we fast-forward to the Wisconsin game, please?
5. Oklahoma (6-0) — Sooners pass first real test of the season.
6. Wisconsin (6-0) — When an 80-yard rushing performance is considered a letdown for Jonathan Taylor, you know he's doing something right.
7. Notre Dame (5-1) — Gritty win over a talented but poorly-coached USC team.
8. Florida (6-1) — Gators battled through some injuries to put a scare into LSU. 9. Auburn (5-1) — Talent is still here to make some higher-ranked teams sweat a little.

20. Baylor (6-0) — Another well-coached program that keeps earning respect.
21. Minnesota (6-0) — The Big Ten title contender no one is talking about.
