Khavanon Ballot for 2017 Week 3
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 10, 2017, 11:59 a.m.
Overall Rationale: My computer poll will probably be out around week 6. A lot of postponed games due to the hurricane featuring four ranked teams make this week sort of dull outside the Top-10. Nobody outside the Top-25 really had a signature win to justify putting them into the rankings.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
(0) 41-10 over Fresno State. |
| 2 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
(+1) 31-16 road win over previously ranked #2 Ohio State. |
| 3 |
Clemson Tigers
|
(+3) 14-6 over previously ranked #14 Auburn. |
| 4 |
USC Trojans
|
(+4) 42-24 over previously ranked #7 Stanford. |
| 5 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
(-1) 33-14 over Pittsburgh. Two teams jumped over them for having big wins. One dropped below them. |
| 6 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
(-1) Game postponed. Same reasoning as Penn State. |
| 7 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
(-5) 31-16 loss at home to previously ranked #3 Oklahoma. |
| 8 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
(+1) 36-14 over Cincinnati. |
| 9 |
Washington Huskies
|
(+1) 63-7 over Montana. |
| 10 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
(+1) 31-14 over FAU. |
| 11 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
(+1) 44-7 over South Alabama. |
| 12 |
LSU Tigers
|
(+1) 45-10 over Chattanooga. |
| 13 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
(-6) 42-24 loss to previously ranked #8 USC. |
| 14 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
(+1) 20-19 over Notre Dame. |
| 15 |
Auburn Tigers
|
(-1) 14-6 loss to previously ranked #6 Clemson. Might have dropped further, but this to me is the bottom of this tier of teams. |
| 16 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
(0) 27-0 over Delaware. |
| 17 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
(0) 37-3 over Texas State. |
| 18 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
(0) 42-7 over Indiana State. |
| 19 |
Florida Gators
|
(0) Game postponed. |
| 20 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
(0) 47-35 over North Carolina. |
| 21 |
USF Bulls
|
(0) Game postponed. |
| 22 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
(+1) Game postponed. |
| 23 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
(+1) 55-7 over Charlotte. |
| 24 |
Washington State Cougars
|
(+1) 47-44 triple overtime win over Boise State. |
| 25 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
(-3) 27-16 win over Eastern Kentucky. First two wins are anything but impressive. Fortunately for them nobody below them had major win this week, but they are in danger of dropping out. |
