Khavanon Ballot for 2017 Week 4
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 17, 2017, 11:43 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Computer Poll should come out after Week 6. Not a lot of movement in the Top-10 this week, but a lot of shuffle in the lower 60% due to five teams losing. Dropped this week: previously ranked #12 LSU, #13 Stanford, and #23 Kansas State.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
(0) 41-23 over Colorado State. Showing a little weakness this week. |
| 2 |
Clemson Tigers
|
(+1) 47-21 road win over previously ranked #20 Louisville. Their resume looks pretty good early. |
| 3 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
(-1) 56-14 over Tulane. |
| 4 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
(+1) 56-0 over Georgia State. |
| 5 |
USC Trojans
|
(-1) 27-24 overtime win over Texas. With their signature win losing to SDSU this week, they're not looking quite as good as I thought they were last week. |
| 6 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
(0) Bye. |
| 7 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
(0) 38-7 over Army. |
| 8 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
(0) 29-13 over Air Force. |
| 9 |
Washington Huskies
|
(0) 48-16 over Fresno State. |
| 10 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
(0) 40-6 over BYU. |
| 11 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
(0) 59-21 over Pittsburgh. |
| 12 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
(+2) 42-14 over Samford. Many of the following teams benefited from lackluster performances from the teams previously above them. |
| 13 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
(+3) 64-17 over East Carolina.  |
| 14 |
Florida Gators
|
(+5) 26-20 over previously ranked #18 Tennessee. |
| 15 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
(+2) 41-21 over Northern Colorado. Finally started allowing TDs. Two of those came off turnovers. |
| 16 |
Auburn Tigers
|
(0) 24-10 over Mercer. It was a one score game until under five minutes left. They didn't earn the same bump as the teams around them. |
| 17 |
USF Bulls
|
(+4) 47-23 over Illinois. |
| 18 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
(+4) Bye. |

| 22 |
