BunnySelfDestruct Ballot for 2017 Week 4

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 18, 2017, 8:15 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Bucket 1 (Playoff Insiders) [1-5 ]- Your likely P5 champions as of today. Bucket 2 (Conference Finalists) [6-10] - The teams 1-5 will have to beat to get to the playoff.Bucket 3 (Upset Minded) [11-20 ]- Teams that are in good position for a NY6 game.Bucket 4 (One Loss Wonders) [21-25] - Teams with 1 loss to a strong opponent.We start conference football in earnest and start to get some real relative data points this coming weekend!

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide I don't know what to do about that Florida State victory, so hopefully we'll find out something this weekend about both Alabama and Florida State.
2 Clemson Tigers Louisville is a better team than Ohio State. Clemson soundly dispatched Louisville in Louisville.
3 Oklahoma Sooners Following the Ohio State win with another solid victory.
4 Penn State Nittany Lions An undefeated Penn State has dispatched 3 inferior opponents. They face a 4th under the lights in Iowa. Have we seen this one before?
5 Washington Huskies Beat Fresno State in similar fashion to Alabama. This Colorado game his huge.
6 Oklahoma State Cowboys Pitt is bad and you shouldn't feel bad for making them feel bad. TCU has not looked bad. Next week will provide our first real data point.
7 Wisconsin Badgers BYU is not a good football team. Wisconsin did what you're supposed to do to not good football teams.
8 Georgia Bulldogs Mississippi State looks scary all of the sudden don't they.
9 Virginia Tech Hokies 57 unanswered points. Also that West Virginia game.
10 Colorado Buffaloes Ain't played nobody. But the Pac 12 south looks to be a mess. USC's struggles against Western Michigan and Texas make it really hard to think they're the ones to win the Pac 12 south.
11 Mississippi State Bulldogs LSU looked good. Then Mississippi state made sure they didn't. You can have LSU's spot for that.
12 Michigan Wolverines Haven't looked dominant, but all the pieces are in place.
13 California Golden Bears 2 wins over middling P5 teams. A lot more than we can say about most other programs this early in the year.
14 TCU Horned Frogs TCU suddenly finds itself as the third best team in the Big 12. A win against Oklahoma State and they're a Top 10 team.
15 Oregon Ducks I don't know how much that Nebraska win really means, especially given the second half Nebraska had against the Ducks.
16 Maryland Terrapins Texas gave up 51 points to Maryland.
17 USC Trojans TEXAS GAVE UP 51 POINTS TO MARYLAND.
18 San Diego State Aztecs Of the G5s, I think the Stanford win is probably the strongest. It's hard to tell though with how much USC struggled with Texas.
19 Vanderbilt Commodores Not a bad year to dodge Mississippi State, even if it means you'll play Alabama.
20 Washington State Cougars Oregon State is bad. Washington State made sure everyone got that cleared up.
21 Ohio State Buckeyes The Army game provides a data point. I don't know how useful it really is.
22 Louisville Cardinals Louisville showed how 1 dimensional they are.
23 Miami Hurricanes We're back to football!
24 Florida State Seminoles We're back to football!
25 Florida Gators The SEC east is probably going to be a mess isn't it?
