jmac_21 Ballot for 2017 Week 4

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 18, 2017, 8:09 p.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide Bama hasn't shown any signs (at least to me) that they shouldn't be #1. They made short work of Colorado State (who has a p5 win lol).
2 Clemson Tigers I wanted to put Clemson at 2 last week, but I wanted to see more from Clemson QB Bryant. Let's just say he had a day against Louisville.
3 Oklahoma Sooners OU's D looked a little sketchy in that first quarter against Tulane's triple option, but pitched a shut out after the 1st. OU's offense continues to impress.
4 Oklahoma State Cowboys Oklahoma State coasted over Pitt this weekend. I know I may have the Cowboys a little higher than most, but I think they are very very legit. It's still early though.
5 Penn State Nittany Lions Honestly I have Penn State and OkState so close in this one. Giving the Cowboys the slight edge for now. I love what Penn State is doing, great on both sides of the ball.
6 USC Trojans USC didn't impress me much this week. I think Texas played them tough, but I also think USC played down to them a little. I think they'll bounce back though.
7 Washington Huskies Washington took care of business at home. Browning had a decent day, 4TD's in total. I still think the Huskies are legit, and I like them to win the Pac-12 as of today.
8 Michigan Wolverines Just 14-23 through the air on offense. They really aren't clicking on that side of the ball yet, but I expect coach Jim to get in Speight's ear and make something of the offense.
9 Wisconsin Badgers Man, the Big Ten is loaded, and Wisconsin might be getting the least Respek out of any deserving team. They get better every week, as they just demolished BYU on the road.
10 Ohio State Buckeyes JT Barrett threw for 270 yards and 2 TDs, maybe he's getting some confidence back. Oh and that kid Dobbins had 172 yards on just 13 carries... Kid is a monster.
11 Florida State Seminoles I might still be high on the 'Noles, I don't really know. They've only played 1 game so far, but finally get back this week.
12 Georgia Bulldogs I don't really know where to put Georiga. Chubb is picking up momentum as expected. Had 131 yards on just 16 carries. I think Georgia is good?
13 TCU Horned Frogs I know some will look at TCU's 20 point win against SMU and say "ehhh I don't think they are very good" but that's a rivalry game, and Kenny Trill actually played well. I think TCU is real.
14 Miami Hurricanes Miami hasn't played since week 1, but I think they will come out this week and perform well.
15 Virginia Tech Hokies So I know East Carolina is pretty awful, but any VT team that scores 63 has a shot at things. Love their WR Phillips who had 189 yards receiving and 3 TDs. 
16 Mississippi State Bulldogs Hail State! The Bulldogs came out and put the beat down on LSU. Very impressive win.
17 Washington State Cougars WSU's Falk is just always putting up ridiculous numbers in this offense. 396 yards and 6 TDs. They are dangerous.
18 West Virginia Mountaineers WVU beat a lesser opponent next week, and I may be slightly high on them, but I like what Will Grier and that offense are capable of. 
19 Utah Utes Well Utah won again, they get in to Pac 12 play this week with Arizona. I like what the Utes are doing, but it may just be me loving their uniform and helmet combos too much. We'll see.
20 Auburn Tigers Auburn didn't exactly impress many with their win over Mercer. They travel to Mizzou this week to start SEC play.
21 Louisville Cardinals Louisville got cut down by the buzzsaw that is Clemson. Tough game, but the Cards still have a former Heisman winner on the squad. They'll be just fine.
22 USF Bulls /r/CFB doesn't seem to like it much but the Bulls keep winning. They beat their Big 10 opponent Illinois by 24 points. Flowers threw for 280 yards 4 TDs and ran for 106 with another TD. 
23 San Diego State Aztecs SDSU had a huge program victory over Stanford. Looks like they're still a really good team. I'm happy to see it.
24 Oregon Ducks Oregon met up with Wyoming and absolutely ran away with the victory 49-13. I feel fairly okay with the statement; "Oregon is back."
25 Vanderbilt Commodores Going to the Little Apple and winning isn't as easy as some might think. I'm ready to rank the Commodores.. and you?
