Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 2, 2016, 4:28 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Each poll made completely independent of one another. I look at record, opponents, and how you won. wins coming from random bounces and hail mary passes don't blow me away by any means.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Until shown otherwise, here be the king |
2 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Possibly the most athletically talented team in the country. Scary good and freaky fast. They'll cause problems all season long. |
3 | Clemson Tigers | Balled out when it mattered most. Definitely some issues that they're working through but an extremely talented roster |
4 | Michigan Wolverines | Jourdan Lewis is the best player on this roster and it's not close. Come at me Peppers fans. |
5 | Louisville Cardinals | You zigged when you should have zagged on one play, this is still a dominant team that just lost to an equally dominant team by a coin flip. |
6 | Washington Huskies | Damn. |
7 | Houston Cougars | Great team that can't show it week in and week out. They beat Louisville and they're in the top 4 without question. |
8 | Wisconsin Badgers | Defense wins championships and if Wisconsin had just 1 decent skill player they'd be undefeated right now. |
9 | Miami Hurricanes | |
10 | Nebraska Cornhuskers | |
11 | West Virginia Mountaineers | |
12 | Texas A&M Aggies | |
13 | Colorado Buffaloes | |
14 | Baylor Bears | |
15 | Tennessee Volunteers | Not a fan of Tennessee this year and I think 15 is too high. They're here as a function of record but without lucky happenstance they'd be a two loss team at least. They'll have a come to Saban moment, and it may be before they lay him. |
16 | Ole Miss Rebels | |
17 | Virginia Tech Hokies | |
18 | Arkansas Razorbacks | |
19 | Utah Utes | |
20 | Boise State Broncos | |
21 | Western Michigan Broncos | |
22 | Stanford Cardinal | |
23 | Florida Gators | |
24 | Air Force Falcons | |
25 | Oklahoma Sooners |
