2025 College Football Rankings - ESPN

Miami = 5
Clemosn = 8
ND = 9
SMU = 17
Tenn = 22
GT = 27
Duke = 40
Pitt = 45

We're going to have to wait until we beat Clemson to be ranked.

Clemson, ND, and Texas all lose and stay in the top 10, FST beats the #8 team and is ranked 4-6 slots below the other three. I don't know if this poll is used for anything anymore, but it is heavily biased toward preseason rankings which are just guesses.

I know PSU started at #2 and this poll doesn't really matter, but having them higher than LSU right now is insane.

To be fair all three teams lost close games to top 10 teams and two lost on the road.

It's not just whether you win or lose, it's how you do it. FSU went from unranked to 14. That's a huge jump and the leap frogged a bunch of teams that won. And you can argue that they didn't beat #8, they beat #21.
