Foxmcbowser42 Ballot for 2017 Week 8

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 16, 2017, 2:44 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I made a one time adjustment dating back to the Wake Forest/FSU game. As it was clear that Wake would be an issue due to the wild swing from FSU not having played early games, I rescored Wakes loss deduction off of FSU's Massey composite from that week, and also rescored the Clemson Wake results. These are highlighted as red on my sheet.As always, I will move teams =/- 5 points based on eye test, if reasoning is not given individually, they were adjusted bc of other teams rising and falling.

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs
2 Alabama Crimson Tide
3 TCU Horned Frogs
4 Ohio State Buckeyes
5 Miami Hurricanes
6 NC State Wolfpack
7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
8 Penn State Nittany Lions +5 These next three weeks will vault them solidly to #1 or 2 if they sweep, which I have no reason to doubt will happen.
9 Clemson Tigers
10 UCF Knights
11 Auburn Tigers -5 - They could honestly still be this good, but what even is LSU
12 LSU Tigers -5 No clue what to think of the Tigers. Couple good wins now, but still questionable.
13 Iowa State Cyclones -5 - They have the big signature win, but we'll see if it is sustainable with the new QB
14 Wisconsin Badgers
15 Michigan State Spartans
16 Stanford Cardinal
17 Syracuse Orange -5 big win for resume points, not much on eye test
18 California Golden Bears -5  big win for resume points, not much on eye test
19 Oklahoma State Cowboys
20 Oklahoma Sooners +3 RRS is always a weird result, I foresee them moving back up slowly but surely
21 USC Trojans
22 Washington State Cougars
23 Virginia Cavaliers
24 Washington Huskies +5 That was a bad loss, but still are a top 25 team
25 Michigan Wolverines +5 that defense is real, but the offense could be one of the worst in the Big Ten
