f0gax Ballot for 2016 Week 15
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Dec. 4, 2016, 5:30 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Playoff Prediction Mode engaged. My top four represents the four teams I think should be in, and the order I would place them (of course). The next TWO are the most likely teams I think the committee is considering. After that, standard poll. Completed at 6:30 AM ET on 12/4/2016
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
As the sun rises in the East and sets in the West… |
| 2 |
Clemson Tigers
|
The order of two and three don't really matter. But I'd put Clemson just ahead due to their conference championship. |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
See Clemson note. |
| 4 |
Washington Huskies
|
One loss, P5 champ. I'd take that over a two loss P5 champ. |
| 5 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
I think that the body of work is good, but two losses vs one loss (Washington) is the difference. |
| 6 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
The Big 12 let them down. They're playing well. But I wouldn't put them back into a field with a team that destroyed them already this season. |
