Washington comes in at No. 2,Algosensey followed No. 3 Georgia, No. 4 Texas and No. 5 Alabama.

Michigan was ranked No. 2 in the preseason 1-133 behind Georgia. The Huskies were ranked No. 21. The same preseason re-rank had Pittsburgh at No. 25, so it’s obviously not an exact science.

While Texas beat Alabama and the Crimson Tide beat Georgia, the Bulldogs’ 13-1 record and 60-point win against depleted Florida State in the Orange Bowl lands them in third.

Rounding out the top 10 are the Seminoles, Oregon, Missouri, Ohio State and Mississippi. Teams that jumped into the final top 25 after bowl play include No. 18 Clemson (up nine spots), No. 20 Tennessee (up eight) and No. 23 Kansas (up nine). The top 25 features three Group of Five teams in No. 21 Liberty, No. 22 James Madison and No. 25 Memphis.
