gohuskies Ballot for 2017 Week 4

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 17, 2017, 12:05 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Outside of the top 15-ish, I really don't feel good about my ballot. Also I made the rankings before the polls come out, but didn't write the explanations until after.Almost in:Auburn - get an offense pleaseFlorida - see AuburnUtah- not impressed that you barely best dogshit BYUSouth Florida - first two games still lingering too much in my mind

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide Feels like the defense is still very good but not regular dominant-Bama good.
2 Oklahoma Sooners Think you can put OU or Clemson here no prob. I'll take Baker Mayfield.
3 Clemson Tigers Another great win
4 Oklahoma State Cowboys Killed Pitt on the road > handily beating Pitt at home
5 Penn State Nittany Lions I love that Franklin iced the kicker at the end of your game. Mostly, cause icing the kicker is stupid anyways, but the fact that your coach did it while up by a zillion points is sweet.
6 USC Trojans Maybe Texas is pretty good, and Maryland is also good, but Stanford might not actually be good, and there's enough question marks to drop you guys a couple spots.
7 Mississippi State Bulldogs What a fucking annihilation of LSU. Couldn't have been more impressed with MSU. Defense was fast and physical, and if I'm an NFL GM I'd splooge in my pants at the thought of Nick Fitzgerald. I'm sure they'll be like 10 spots lower in the actual poll, but fuck you, you're wrong.
8 Washington Huskies Ho hum, another drubbing of a crappy team. Fresno actually covered the spread (barely), but UW was rotating backups in early in the second quarter already up four TDs. Still want to see a smidge more from both lines, but I think we were saying that last year and I trust Petersen.
9 Michigan Wolverines Second week looking lackluster against a meh team.
10 Florida State Seminoles I don't love having a winless team up here, but I also don't love any of the other teams below them.
11 Ohio State Buckeyes Good job taking care of your service academy.
12 Wisconsin Badgers That's better, Wisconsin. Though BYU still is awful (good thing nobody was dumb enough to rank them in the preseason, right?).
13 Virginia Tech Hokies Took a while to get going against ECU but once they did nice job.
14 Georgia Bulldogs Who'd have thought their top competition from the East would come from Vandy and Kentucky?
15 Washington State Cougars I hate that I'm putting you up here but I don't really feel comfortable putting anyone else below you above you.
16 Miami Hurricanes Can't wait for FSU-Miami
17 TCU Horned Frogs Somehow you guys snuck up here too.
18 Colorado Buffaloes looking forward to UW-CU in Boulder!
19 San Diego State Aztecs oh hot damn. Feel like SDSU is always underrated to start the year. Also what's going on in Palo Alto?
20 Louisville Cardinals How much to ding you guys for the loss to Clemson? I have no idea, cause I didn't watch any of the game. I'll put you here. Feel decent about it, especially because Purdue actually looks halfway okay.
21 Vanderbilt Commodores 3 games, 13 points allowed!
22 LSU Tigers Talent is obviously there but my god that was an undisciplined team in Starkville.
23 Oregon Ducks I also hate that I'm putting you guys in.
24 Maryland Terrapins Texas win looks nicer.
25 Duke Blue Devils That was a little more of a struggle than it should have been against Baylor. Still, two touchdown win vs a P5 team + killing Northwestern is pretty nice.
