Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 5, 2017, 2:38 p.m.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
A strong win over a great Florida State team means Alabama is soundly in 1st.  |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 3 |
Washington Huskies
|
|
| 4 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 5 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 6 |
Clemson Tigers
|
|
| 7 |
USC Trojans
|
USC struggled a bit against a team they should have handled without too much issue. They came away with the win, but I'm a bit less high on this team now.  |
| 8 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
|
| 9 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 10 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
This is a heavy docking for a loss to the #1 team, but with Francois out for the season, there are major questions about the Seminoles going forward. They have a great defense and weapons on offense, but there may be some growing pains for the next in line moving forward.  |
| 11 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
A good opening weekend win against a good team gives the Wolverines a bump above two teams (Auburn and Stanford) that won handily, but against vastly inferior opponents.  |
| 12 |
Auburn Tigers
|
|
| 13 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
|
| 14 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 15 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 16 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
|
| 17 |
USF Bulls
|
|
| 18 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
|
| 19 |
Washington State Cougars
|
|
| 20 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
A great win against a borderline top 25 team gives them their introduction to the top 25. |
| 21 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
|
| 22 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 23 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 24 |
