Luriker Ballot for 2016 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 5, 2016, 11:13 p.m.

Overall Rationale: http://pastebin.com/z3MLgC47

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide HANDLED USC. Should have had them at #1 last week.
2 Florida State Seminoles Beat a better team than Clemson by more.  Not the easiest pick.
3 Clemson Tigers
4 Stanford Cardinal
5 Ohio State Buckeyes
6 Michigan Wolverines
7 Houston Cougars Damn. Generally try not to overrate G5 teams, because the easy schedules just keep the ranking high, but I don't regret this.
8 Iowa Hawkeyes
9 Wisconsin Badgers
10 Washington Huskies
11 Texas Longhorns until
12 Michigan State Spartans
13 Louisville Cardinals
14 Georgia Bulldogs
15 Texas A&M Aggies Remember what happened last year with ASU? Where the pre-season rankings made this into a big game between two teams that wound up being underwhelming? I'm not saying.
16 Miami Hurricanes Feeling vindicated about this pick right now
17 Texas Tech Red Raiders
18 Virginia Tech Hokies Gonna beat Tennessee next week
19 Oklahoma State Cowboys
20 BYU Cougars
21 Utah Utes Basically the same as preseason ranking them after week 1
22 Boise State Broncos Why not?
23 San Diego State Aztecs Not San Jose St
24 WKU Hilltoppers Upset Chaos this week in the form of Rice
25 Kansas Jayhawks We know exactly one thing about 83 teams and one thing about 42 teams in FBS.  The former have won a game this season, and the latter have lost a game.  Then there's Hawaii who's lost two, but that's besides the point.  Kansas is a winner right now, and we can't say they're not.
