Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Oct. 2, 2017, 3:03 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Link to Score sheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DahkvOu69wZE2w2skKrP39CCgmlAImUlnNo0TYbSwUA/edit?usp=sharingThis is the first week I used my previous poll iteration for rankings, as I felt I had enough data to work with. The only major issue I foresee is Wake Forest. My points based rank only awards points for games played, this means FSU took a huge tumble after a loss to NC State. Wake's points for losing took them down to where FSU was. I am going to roll with it for now, as it should hopefully work itself out. Additionally, Mississippi State and LSU continue to hamper my rankings. Next year my goal will be to rescore all games played by the newest weekly ranking.Next 10:22(T): SMU - adjusted outside of top 25 for Va Tech26(T): Duke, Stanford, USF, UCLA31(T) UVA, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech, Maryland
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | |
2 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
3 | Clemson Tigers | Adj. +4Clemson looks 100% like the top team in the nation outside of Alabama, and they have a better resume at this point. |
4 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Adj +3Clearly should be a playoff team, despite a lack of decent opponents so far. |
5 | Washington State Cougars | |
6 | TCU Horned Frogs | Adj. -4Mostly due to other moving up. |
7 | Auburn Tigers | Adj -5Beating Miss St is questionably impressive - so they get booted down the maximum |
8 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
9 | Washington Huskies | |
10 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
11 | Miami Hurricanes | Adj. -3I think Duke is still a pretty good team, but not 100% sold on Miami yet, I am running into a similar problem with them that I am with FSU because of cancelled games |
12 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
13 | NC State Wolfpack | |
14 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | |
15 | Michigan Wolverines | |
16 | San Diego State Aztecs | |
17 | UCF Knights | |
18 | USC Trojans | |
19 | Louisville Cardinals | |
20 | Florida Gators | |
21 | Utah Utes | +1 - Miss St move |
22 | Wisconsin Badgers | +1 - Miss St move |
23 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | Adjustment -5Wow, LSU was clearly not good, that win will buoy them in my ranking for this week, but probably not another. |
24 | Colorado State Rams | |
25 | Virginia Tech Hokies | Adjustment +1They are still a top 25 team despite the Clemson loss |
