Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 10, 2016, 5:10 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Meh.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | I really resent ranking these guys #1 week after week, year after year. I didn't have a follow-up point, I just wanted to get that off my chest |
2 | Michigan Wolverines | 78 is a big number |
3 | Washington Huskies | 70 is also a big number |
4 | Clemson Tigers | Firing on all cylinders now. |
5 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Nothing much bad to say about these guys, but out of the top 5 they are the least tested so far (not that Indiana's a pushover, there are just a lot of teams with good resumes). That will definitely change next week. |
6 | Texas A&M Aggies | What the fuck even was that game? I'm not even close to ready to believe this team is for real yet. Christ on a cracker. |
7 | Louisville Cardinals | Bye |
8 | Wisconsin Badgers | Bye |
9 | Baylor Bears | Is it just me or does Baylor look worse every week? |
10 | West Virginia Mountaineers | Like Baylor I'm ranking them on their undefeated record; I'm not sure either of them is actually a top-10 team. |
11 | Nebraska Cornhuskers | Gonna be in trouble if they keep playing mediocre teams this close. |
12 | Virginia Tech Hokies | Maybe this is an over-reaction, but they look better and better each week. |
13 | Tennessee Volunteers | They finally ran out of Pixie Dust. (I know, super original thought) |
14 | Houston Cougars | The chance of a G5 playoff crasher is all but eliminated now :( |
15 | Miami Hurricanes | Definitely the weakest Hurricanes of the weekend |
16 | Arizona State Sun Devils | The Pac-12 South seems weak, but ASU is on top for now. |
17 | Western Michigan Broncos | I'm pretty interested to see where they end up if they win out. |
18 | Boise State Broncos | This certainly isn't the Boise State that should've played for the championship in 2009, but it is remarkable to see them win so many games year after year. |
19 | Auburn Tigers | When they can run they look really good. When they can't they don't. |
20 | Utah Utes | Haven't seen them play yet this year so I'm still not sure what to make of them. Their results suggest mediocrity but the middle of the Pac-12 seems super wide open this year. |
21 | Troy Trojans | Air Force isn't bad this year, so I honestly think they've earned this ranking despite a loss. |
22 | Ole Miss Rebels | We'll see which of these two is the best this week. |
23 | Arkansas Razorbacks | |
24 | Oklahoma Sooners | I don't actually think they deserve to be ranked, I'm just putting them here to say "lol Texas" |
25 | Florida Gators | Lost to a hurricane and their own AD this week. |
