Xtremeloco Ballot for 2016 Preseason

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 21, 2016, 4:51 p.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide Boring Alabama.  They just keep winning and I'm forced to put them at #1 until someone takes out the king.  It will probably be Ole Miss but they'll somehow overcome it again but evil always wins.
2 Clemson Tigers They had their shot and missed it.  Maybe they can try again this season.
3 Oklahoma Sooners #1 thing Oklahoma must do in order for me to not look like and idiot is beat Houston.  If they lose I totally put them here as a joke.
4 Tennessee Volunteers Either Tennessee makes it to playoffs this year or Josh Dobbs takes a rocket to Mars.  Either way I'm happy. 
5 Michigan Wolverines I'm going to over hype Michigan so if they fail its funnier to watch them fall. If it works out I can point and say I told you so.   
6 LSU Tigers LSU should be better than expected this year.  But they'll still manage to screw up my pick-ems by losing to a team nobody expected.  
7 Ohio State Buckeyes Even though I think Ohio State might be better I wanted to rank Ohio State below Michigan just to see if Ohio State fans would get mad at me.  
8 UCLA Bruins I'd say the odds of UCLA ending the season in the top 4 are about the same as Josh Rosen falling asleep at a sorority house and missing a game this season.  Which sound like pretty good odds. 
9 Washington Huskies I couldn't let Tennessee and Michigan get all the 90s bros unwarranted hype alone.  So Washington gets to join.  Wait..where's Nebraska? 
10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Notre Dame gets to be #10 because NBC paid me.  
11 Florida State Seminoles Florida State is probably lower than they should be but they also shouldn't have lost to Georgia Tech last year so they've got no room to argue.  
12 Houston Cougars I gotta assume that Houston is going to be good again this year because that's all Houston fans seem to talk about is how "Houston is going to be good again this year."  
13 TCU Horned Frogs TCU is probably better than 13. But I forgot about them when I first started making this poll so I though them in the middle hoping nobody would notice.  
14 Stanford Cardinal I'm ranking Stanford this low because somebody at that "smart school" gave them a bye week in week 2.  
15 USC Trojans USC probably doesn't deserve to be here but I want the pleasure of dropping them out of my poll after the lose to Alabama.  
16 Ole Miss Rebels I look forward to them beating Alabama and then sucking later in the season to give Alabama the SEC West title.  
17 Georgia Bulldogs The Devil's spawn went down to Georgia.  So we'll have to see how that plays out.  
18 Michigan State Spartans Michigan St18 doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
19 Oklahoma State Cowboys They did good last year right?  Okay sure let them in my top 20.  
20 North Carolina Tar Heels I have a rule.  Always rank the loser of the Russel Athletic Bowl in my preseason top 20.  I can't go breaking rules. 
21 Oregon Ducks Oregon gets a spot as a thank you for giving my Titans Mariota.  
22 Baylor Bears Baylor...dead last in the off-season but still starts the year like everyone else..0-0.  
23 Iowa Hawkeyes They won a bunch the lost a couple last year.  I didn't do a good enough job keeping up with all the Iowa Hawkeyes off-season news to know anything about this team.....so #23 seems right.  
24 Boise State Broncos Boise State's blue turf gives me a headache.  Go to hell Broncos. #24 for you. 
25 Louisville Cardinals I almost forgot Louisville was in the ACC.  So this is my apology.
