Foxmcbowser42 Ballot for 2017 Week 6

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
