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.

19. Iowa (4-2) — Maybe a tad overrated here, but we still think the Hawkeyes are solid.

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.

22. Cincinnati (5-1) — That lone loss is to Ohio State.

23. Washington (5-2) — QB Jacob Eason eas-in' (see that? OK, it was dumb) his way up the draft boards.
