T-Thugs Ballot for 2016 Final

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Jan. 10, 2017, 9:47 p.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Clemson Tigers Champs. Congrats, Tigers. 
2 Alabama Crimson Tide Incredible season. Great game. Close loss to Tigers in championship.
3 USC Trojans :( After a rough start, USC finished out the season really strong. Big wins over Washington and Penn State in the Rose Bowl.
4 Oklahoma Sooners Oklahoma finished out the year big with a win over Auburn. Their win over Oklahoma State also looks really good right now.
5 Florida State Seminoles Finished the season strong with a big win over Michigan in the orange bowl. They also crushed a pretty good Florida team and have decent wins over Miami and South Florida. 
6 Penn State Nittany Lions Big Ten champs played a heck of a game against USC. Despite the loss, I rank them high due to wins over Ohio State and Wisconsin this season.
7 Washington Huskies Only losses were to Alabama and USC, but kinda lacking big wins. Colorado win seems much less impressive.
8 Ohio State Buckeyes I put the buckeyes over the Badgers since they did beat them head to head. Also had a good win over Michigan. Got beatdown by Clemson in bowl game. 
9 Wisconsin Badgers Badgers finished out the season with a solid win over a pretty good Western Michigan team, which is weird to say. Would have helped them to beat a big name team, though, at least in my book. 
10 Oklahoma State Cowboys Absolutely beatdown Colorado in their bowl game.
11 Stanford Cardinal Stanford finished the season with a bowl win over UNC. Their win over USC earlier in the season looks really good right now as well. 
12 Michigan Wolverines Michigan can't play on the road. They went 2-3 in games outside of Ann Arbor this year. Their only wins were against Michigan State and Rutgers who were both absolutely terrible. They do have some solid wins at home, though. Wisconsin and Penn State were solid. 
13 Florida Gators Put a beatdown on Iowa in their bowl. The SEC championship beating they received from Alabama stinks, but lots of teams get beatdown by Alabama: See USC.
14 Virginia Tech Hokies Beat arkansas to finish year. Solid wins over Miami and Pitt. 
15 Western Michigan Broncos Great season for the Broncos. Only loss is to Wisconsin.
16 LSU Tigers Good win over Louisville to finish the year. They really lack good wins during the regular season, though.
17 Miami Hurricanes Finished the year with a good win over West Virginia. Had a couple really bad losses this year, though. Including Notre Dame. Should be noted Lou Holtz would have been able to beat up Jimmy Johnson. 
18 Colorado Buffaloes Really a terrible last two games. I kept them this high because they had a solid win over Stanford, though. They also played USC tough in LA.
19 USF Bulls Finished the season with a win. Only had 2 losses this season. Had a decent win over Navy. 
20 West Virginia Mountaineers Finished with a loss, but they only had 3 losses this year and two of them (the Oklahomas) are looking like pretty tough teams.
21 Louisville Cardinals Not a great finish for the Cardinals. They did have a really good win over FSU this year, though.
22 Tennessee Volunteers Beat Nebraska in a bowl. Had a solid win over Virginia Tech this year. 
23 Auburn Tigers
24 Utah Utes
25 Kansas State Wildcats
