Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 20, 2016, 9:42 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Ole Miss, Oklahoma, and Notre Dame will probably find their way back at some point, but it feels really silly ranking 1-2 teams. After #16 or so it felt like there were 20 teams with halfway decent cases to be made.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Louisville Cardinals | Most impressive win of the season so far. |
2 | Alabama Crimson Tide | I don't know if they'd be able to stop Lamar Jackson and the Louisville offense. I'm dropping them more because I was very impressed with Louisville than anything that Alabama did. |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Big time win on the road at Oklahoma. |
4 | Houston Cougars | Still digging their Oklahoma win. |
5 | Michigan Wolverines | Colorado is going to be a pretty good team - UM played great after the 1st quarter. |
6 | Stanford Cardinal | Another very nice win for the Cardinal. |
7 | Texas A&M Aggies | Texas A&M is stacking up the solid wins. |
8 | Michigan State Spartans | Furman looks like an afterthought. What happened in the fourth quarter though against ND? |
9 | Washington Huskies | Zzzzzzzz. @Arizona terrifies me right now. |
10 | Wisconsin Badgers | Couple weeks of coasting after the LSU win. |
11 | Clemson Tigers | Better not overlook GT before the Louisville showdown. |
12 | Tennessee Volunteers | Not that impressive in victory, but Ohio is decent and they still have a nice win over VT. |
13 | Florida State Seminoles | I think Lamar Jackson is in the endzone again. |
14 | Georgia Bulldogs | I have no idea what to make of Georgia. But, they're still 3-0 with a win over a pretty solid UNC. |
15 | Baylor Bears | Whose non-conference schedule has more creampuffs, UW or Baylor? |
16 | Nebraska Cornhuskers | Thanks Nebraska! Love, UW |
17 | San Diego State Aztecs | Well the Aztecs beat Cal, who beat Texas, and I don't feel good enough about anyone else to put them here, so here we go. |
18 | California Golden Bears | See SD State. |
19 | Texas Longhorns | I'd bet that they end up with more wins than Cal by the end of the year. But I'm following the on field results right now. |
20 | Miami Hurricanes | I feel like I'm 6 beers in and throwing darts right now. |
21 | LSU Tigers | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  |
22 | Arkansas Razorbacks | They're either going way up or out next week. |
23 | Boise State Broncos | SD State and BSU in the MWC championship would be a blast. |
24 | Utah Utes | Well their defense still looks great, and the offense not so much. I don't get why it's so hard to get competent quarterback play at Utah. |
25 | UCLA Bruins | Loss @ Texas A&M in OT isn't bad at all, and just like Arkansas they're either going way up or out next week. |
