Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 19, 2016, 4:04 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Still too early to feel too confident in these rankings, outside of a few top teams and a few choice omissions. This next week will give me a lot more confidence.
Rank | Team | Reason |

I knew I ranked you guys high for a reason. Well done. There's a new king of the ACC. |

I'm still of the mind that Oklahoma was overrated, but it's hard to ignore the shellackings Ohio State has put on 3 teams now. |

Ohio State, Louisville, and Houston are the only teams that have completely dominated all their competition, while playing good teams. Of course, who knows who the real "good" teams are this early. |

It's tough to tell if Colorado is still the same old terrible opponant, but regardless, Michigan took care of them after some early slip-ups. |

No idea why everyone's so down on Florida and up on Tennessee. At least Florida has blown out their weak competition. Though without Del Rio we'll see how they survive. |
7 |

Solid wins over 2 P5 teams. No glaring weaknesses yet. |
8 |

Still haven't played anyone, but it's hard to ignore the hype. These next 3 weeks will be a real test. |

Not a flawless win, but they have as solid a case as any for being the team to beat in the B1G West. |

It is entirely possible that LSU was overrated going into this season. |

We're good, but maybe not *that* good. For sure we need to start getting touchdowns in the red zone. |

Sure, sending Rice to 0-3 is no accomplishment, but they do have 3 blowout wins, which gives them a better resume than most teams on this list. |

I'm down on these guys compared to the polls only because it seems as if Notre Dame aren't who we thought they were. They'll have a chance to prove themselves at Wisconsin. |

Excited for another classic overtime game next week. |
15 |
![]() |
Another unproven team that has 3 blowouts on their resume. |

San Jose State not exactly a blockbuster team this year. Still lots of questions for the Utes, though conference play should provide answers. |
17 |

Seriously, why are people ranking these guys so high? Either Troy and Auburn are contenders this year, or Clemson isn't. I'm leaning towards the second option. |
18 |

This week vs. Clemson will answer a lot of questions for both teams. |
19 |

A surprisingly interesting matchup against Western Michigan next week! |

A strong start to the season for the Aztecs. Could be the team to beat in the Mountain West. |
21 |

Not much to go on for these guys. It may end up being Toledo that is their strongest test of the year. |
22 |

Another team that the AP poll is inexplicably in love with. If it weren't for a lack of options I wouldn't be ranking them at all... |
23 |
![]() |
I feel like even a win this week won't net them any respect: people will just say Florida State was overrated to begin with. |
24 |
![]() |
Some tight victories on their resume gives me trepidation. Though it is nice that their defense was able to win it for them this week after it was nowhere to be found last week. |

Once again proving themselves the Galaxy S7 of the state |
