Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 5, 2017, 3:36 p.m.

Overall Rationale: This is still conjecture. Not enough games to really tell. UCLA comeback got them on the list. Notre Dame sneaks on as well, but we'll see what happens with them this week vs Georgia. Losses by Florida and Florida State to higher ranked teams didn't hurt as much as in AP/Coaches' polls. Ohio State looked terrible against Indiana until they ran away due to depth; need to be better to stay in top 4. USF might be 2-0 and favored the rest of the season but close games like the one against Stony Brook aren't going to keep them on my poll for long.
