Mario_Speedwagon Ballot for 2017 Week 8

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 16, 2017, 6:15 a.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide Alabama's dynasty has to end at some point but it doesn't appear to be ending this year.
2 Penn State Nittany Lions Will find out exactly where Penn State stands with Michigan and Ohio State in coming weeks. I expect the winner of the Penn State-Ohio State to take the B1G.
3 Georgia Bulldogs Until this week, I've felt like Georgia has been riding on its defense and falling upwards. After seeing the offense pick up the slack when the defense struggled early, I'm starting to buy in. Fromm doesn't look like a freshman anymore.
4 TCU Horned Frogs They keep winning and doing it convincingly soooo...I can't argue with that, can I?
5 Wisconsin Badgers They keep winning and their schedule doesn't pose too many big challenges. Wisconsin will probably go undefeated into the B1G championship...then I think they're going to get obliterated by whoever they play.
6 Oklahoma State Cowboys I believe the Cowboys are the better of the two Oklahoma teams at this point. Only loss is to #4 TCU.
7 Ohio State Buckeyes Ranked above Wisconsin simply because I believe if the two played, Ohio State would win with ease.
8 Oklahoma Sooners Yeah they beat Ohio State but I don't think they'd win that game if they played again. Ohio State seems to have improved every week.
9 Miami Hurricanes I love seeing Richt and the Canes succeed but I have a hard time ranking them any higher right now. I just don't think it's going to last.
10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Thinking Notre Dame may have been underrated this year but the next few weeks will really answer that question.
11 Clemson Tigers Couldn't stop the run all game. Good team but I don't think they'll be defending their national title this year. If their quarterback isn't back next week, I could definitely see Clemson losing to Georgia Tech.
12 Washington Huskies Still think they're the best of the Pac-12 but they didn't look good Saturday night.
13 Washington State Cougars Ugly loss. Only reason I have them at 13 is that I can't justify dropping them below USC.
14 USC Trojans Thought Utah would win that game and they almost did. USC can be good but they're too inconsistent for me to rank any higher.
15 NC State Wolfpack Big game this weekend! 
16 Virginia Tech Hokies
17 UCF Knights Why is UCF beating the shit out of everyone? What is going on? Wish they could get that Georgia Tech game in.
18 Michigan State Spartans
19 Michigan Wolverines
20 Stanford Cardinal Bryce Love is love.
21 West Virginia Mountaineers
22 Auburn Tigers That was a bad loss. Didn't get to see the game. What the hell happened?
23 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Georgia Tech is 2 points and merely seconds away from being undefeated. I think they deserve to be ranked. Counterpoint though...how the hell did they lose to Tennessee?
24 Memphis Tigers
25 LSU Tigers This team confuses the hell out of me.
