Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 6, 2016, 1:46 p.m.
Overall Rationale: The teams that won big matchups are at the top. The teams that defeated power 5 opponents are next. I don't care to see teams defeat terrible opponents by 50. Teams like Ohio State (who I think is very very good) will move up as soon as they play someone good.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|

Dominant performance over USC. Still rolling. Yikes. |
2 |
![]() |
They just looked flat out better than Oklahoma. The score actually made it feel closer than it was.  |
3 |
![]() |
Great performance against what I think is a good Ole Miss team. Really recovered well after a poor start. |
4 |

I actually don't think Texas is the fourth best team in the country, but I think their win over Notre Dame is more impressive than what other teams have done so far. |
5 |

Like Texas, I don't think Wisconsin is actually this high. Beating LSU gets you a spot high in the rankings at the start though. LSU can't pass and this win may get less impressive, but for now they get dropped right here. |
6 |
![]() |
Georgia looked impressive in their win over North Carolina.  |
7 |
![]() |
Got a win over what people expected to be a solid UCLA team. Without much to compare to, that gets them here for now. I don't think they are better than Clemson, but I think beating UCLA > beating Auburn.  |
8 |
![]() |
They played a closer game than I expected, but they did beat Auburn on the road.  |

Rugers stinks but Washington won big and that is a power 5 opponent. With a lack of other impressive wins, that puts Washington top 10 in my poll for now. |

Solid win over Missouri. |

Defeated Arizona in their opener.  |

Defeated Mississippi State on the road.  |

I know this is stupid. I'm counting beating Northwestern on the road as a solid week 1 win, though.  |
15 |
![]() |
Defeated Boston College to start off their season. |

![]() |
Week 1 win over Oregon State |

I actually think this team kind of stinks.  |

Here's the start of the rankings that are basically 100% hype. Beat the crap out of a terrible opponent.  |
