G-manP Ballot for 2016 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 7, 2016, 12:02 a.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide The defense looks incredible, may have the potential to be better than last years. Jalen Hurts, the true freshman QB, started off with a few quirks, but quickly hit stride as he proved why he will be the new starter.
2 Clemson Tigers Clemson was just able to win the Tiger v. Tiger battle this Saturday. Didn't do enough to move either way in my poll. Defense has some questions.
3 Florida State Seminoles Florida State's chances looked bleak after being down 28-6, but they stormed right back and showed why they're a top 3 team.
4 Michigan Wolverines Michigan was fortunate enough to have both teams in front of them lose. 4 might be a bit high, but who else deserves it?
5 Stanford Cardinal Stanford could've easily jumped Michigan this week, but they didn't put K-State away like we thought they would. They'll have two weeks to polish up for an SC team with a chip.
6 Ohio State Buckeyes A pick six to start the season, bad omen or rust? Either way JT Barrett quickly righted his wrongs. The team is still very young. Tulsa will be a great opportunity to get those much needed reps ahead of Oklahoma.
7 Houston Cougars Damn this squad looks good. Greg Ward Jr. aint no joke.
8 Washington Huskies Huskies put together solid drives in their rout of Rutgers. Defense looked raw in the best way.
9 Georgia Bulldogs I thought we were in for another disappointing year for Uga, but the Dawgs fought back to snag a top 25 victory. Luckily a lot of teams in front of them hath been slain.
10 Wisconsin Badgers Wisconsin surprised a lot of us last weekend. They made Fournette look human at times. Big jump from out of the poll to tenth.
11 Texas Longhorns Texas played in one of the better opening weekend games I'd seen in a while. They have two very capable quarterbacks, both quite fun to watch.
12 Oklahoma Sooners I'm still in shock. Oklahoma will have plenty of competition this year. They need to tighten things up in a hurry as they will face the Buckeyes, Longhorns, and Horned Frogs in consecutive weeks.
13 Louisville Cardinals Louisville creeps up the poll after others in front fell. The defense looks powerful. The real tests are coming soon.
14 Tennessee Volunteers Tennessee should've lost. The team has a lot of talent, but we didn't see much of it on Thursday. App State >>>>>> Furman
15 Michigan State Spartans The Spartans looked alright against Furman...the FCS school....not even receiving votes in the FCS top 25, they will need to play better, soon. Their next two opponents will most certainly be ranked.
16 Iowa Hawkeyes Iowa will most likely sit around this spot in the poll for awhile as they make their way through the easiest part of their schedule. Things don't get interesting until October 22nd vs. Wisconsin.
17 Baylor Bears Seth Russell looked a bit rusty at first, but strung things together much better as the game progressed. Bears look like they could play some good ball this season.
18 Texas A&M Aggies The Aggies never thought they would cheer so loudly for a former Sooner, but it's hard not to when he wins the game for you. A&M has the offensive talent to make a splash.
19 Ole Miss Rebels Swag Kelly was a turnover machine. Ole Miss could find their way out of the polls if they continue to turn the ball over like they did against the Noles.
20 TCU Horned Frogs We all know the Big 12 aren't known for their defenses, but you don't expect an FCS school to put up 41 on a Big 12 team either. TCU's defense seems so out of whack.
21 LSU Tigers Disappointing start to the Tigers season. Fournette hasn't even hit his final form though.
22 Oklahoma State Cowboys Mike Gundy coaching like a man out there. Cowboys looked good against a weak squad. Pitt this week.
23 Miami Hurricanes Brad Kaaya is based af. ACC is a good conference this year. Canes are a darkhorse to ruin some Playof hopes.
24 Notre Dame Fighting Irish I ranked the Irish 12th last week and that felt too high, should've gone with my gut.
25 Oregon Ducks UC Davis is booty. Need to shape up Ducks.
