1. Texas
2. Arkansas
3. Oklahoma
4. Ohio State
5. Michigan
6. Northwestern
7. Ole Miss
8. Kentucky

This is how I learned Northwestern plays at Ohio State, Oregon AND Indiana. Jeez

Well, @ Texas, and Michigan and Oregon at home.

It also depends a lot on Indiana, probably.

Aside from that... it's honestly not that bad.

Agreed, and I'm sure Bill is assuming they don't fall off.

Here are their [final records from 2025].

vs Ball State [4-8]
@ Texas [10-3]
vs Kent State [5-7]
vs Illinois [9-4]
@ Iowa [9-4]
vs Maryland [4-8]
@Indiana [16-0]
@USC [9-4]
vs Oregon [13-2]
vs Northwestern [7-6]
@Nebraska [7-6]
vs Michigan [9-4]

Defending nation champions, then a team with 2 losses, a team with 3 losses, four teams with 4 losses, and finally five teams with 6 or more losses.

So early there is really no basis for a ranking, but I wouldn't say it's a murders' row either.
