TheFlyingBoat Ballot for 2016 Week 9

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 23, 2016, 4:37 p.m.

Overall Rationale: So long to Houston (Prev 12), Arkansas (Prev 17), and Ole Miss (Prev 22), y'all will not be missed.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide Prev 1 | Alabama is the best. Who is surprised?
2 Michigan Wolverines Prev 3 | tOSU's fall makes Michigan's day in more ways than one.
3 Washington Huskies Prev 5 | A respectable win over Oregon State has them move up 2 an into the playoffs for now as well.
4 Clemson Tigers Prev 6 | After others fall, Clemson is back in the playoffs, for now.
5 Louisville Cardinals Prev 7 | A solid trouncing of NCSt jump them to #5.
6 West Virginia Mountaineers Prev 8 | WVU is a scary team that is disrespected hard. They have a phenomenal defense and a good offense.
7 Ohio State Buckeyes Prev 2 | A fluky loss no doubt, but they should have put PSU away from the get go
8 Texas A&M Aggies Prev 4 | Texas A&M lost to Bama, but they are still a damn good team.
9 Nebraska Cornhuskers Prev 9 | NU's SoS thus far is pretty weak, the Purdue game was sloppy for a while, but they are still undefeated.
10 Baylor Bears Prev 10 | Baylor stays at #10 during their bye week.
11 Wisconsin Badgers Prev 11 | Wisconsin has one of the best defenses in the league, without a doubt.
12 Boise State Broncos Prev 13 | God what a shitshow their BYU game was. They picked up the dirtiest W I've ever seen.
13 Oklahoma Sooners Prev 14 | Their offense is really good I guess?
14 Auburn Tigers Prev NR | What a thoroughly incredible beating of Arkansas on the ground. Averaging 9.5 ypc is ridiculous and holding Arkansas to basically nothing is even more so. Congrats to Malzahn for getting his seat cooled.
15 Tennessee Volunteers Prev 15 | Tennessee doesn't really have much of a chance to prove themselves with no good opponents left to beat and will likely not move too far from here.
16 Florida State Seminoles Prev 16 | FSU had a bye in advance of the most important game for them of the rest of the season. Let's see what happens and where they go. Their Ole Miss win looks worse every day, as does their Miami one. If FSU loses, except a hard fall as they have no great wins at that point, and a blowout loss.
17 Florida Gators Prev 18 | Florida had a bye, but moves up amid others falling from grace.
18 Western Michigan Broncos Prev 19 | PJ Fleck is working some wonders at WMU
19 Oklahoma State Cowboys Prev 20 | OkSt should be 6-1. Just saying.
20 Utah Utes Prev 21 | UCLA isn't nearly as good as billed and giving up 45 to them makes me question Utah's defensive capabilities.
21 LSU Tigers Prev 23 | LSU seems to have made a real turnaround. Let's see how they fare against Bama.
22 North Carolina Tar Heels Prev 24 | UNC picks up another solid win and moves up in the poll
23 Colorado Buffaloes Prev 25 | What a ludicrous score line against Stanford.
24 Washington State Cougars Prev NR | They shut down an otherwise solid ASU offense and put up 34 of their own.
25 Penn State Nittany Lions Prev NR | A thrilling, albeit fluky upset of Ohio St bring the Penn St Nittany Lions back into the polls.
