Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 11, 2017, 10:27 p.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide It's Alabama.  They are the standard bearer of CFB year in and year out.  Until someone beats them I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt.  On a neutral field I think they'd beat anyone.
2 Oklahoma Sooners HUGE win over Ohio State.  I'm sure a lot of people will have them jumping to #1 and I can certainly see why.  But for me, I still think Alabama would beat them.Better resume they Alabama - but in my polls I try to ignore resumes and focus on who I think the best teams in the country are.
3 USC Trojans DAAAANG. I had Stanford at #14, and while I expected USC to win I didn't expect them to emasculate Stanford. 
4 Clemson Tigers Clemson is a very good football team.  I don't think we saw the best they can be against Auburn.  That being said, the reason I didn't move Clemson any higher is the win was less impressive than Ohio State or USC - and I'm not sold on Auburn being a top-15 team to begin with.
5 Washington Huskies Montana is not a great team - but Washington is.  This program is going to always hang around the top-10 as long as Peterson is around.
6 Oklahoma State Cowboys
7 Michigan Wolverines
8 Ohio State Buckeyes
9 Penn State Nittany Lions
10 Florida State Seminoles
11 Georgia Bulldogs
12 LSU Tigers
13 Wisconsin Badgers
14 Louisville Cardinals
15 Virginia Tech Hokies
16 Kansas State Wildcats
17 Miami Hurricanes
18 Tennessee Volunteers
19 Stanford Cardinal
20 UCLA Bruins
21 Auburn Tigers
22 Utah Utes
23 TCU Horned Frogs
24 USF Bulls
25 Washington State Cougars
