ryseing Ballot for 2017 Week 8

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 15, 2017, 5:55 p.m.

Overall Rationale: nan

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide
2 Georgia Bulldogs
3 TCU Horned Frogs
4 Penn State Nittany Lions
5 Miami Hurricanes
6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Maybe a tad high, but they won @MSU by 20 and lost to UGA by one point. Much better resume than Wisconsin/Ohio State, and about on par with USC's bizarre body of work. 
7 Wisconsin Badgers Only above USC because I value being undefeated, but ND has a significantly better win and ND's loss is about as quality as it gets. 
8 USC Trojans I officially have no clue about the P12. Losing a close game in Pullman on a Friday is acceptable all things considered, even if Wazzu's loss to Cal yanked them out of my 25 entirely. 
9 Oklahoma State Cowboys
10 UCF Knights Best G5 team by far now that SDSU lost and really should be a Playoff dark horse. Team I'm highest on compared to the consensus besides Stanford. Stomped Maryland in College Park when Maryland still had one backup QB and destroyed a pretty darn good Memphis team
11 Oklahoma Sooners
12 Ohio State Buckeyes
13 Stanford Cardinal After the early season ugliness, they've found their stride. I think they could compete with the top 10 at this point, and would certainly beat Oklahoma/tOSU, but two losses means I can't give them that honor quite yet. 
14 Clemson Tigers Their body of work is still top 7 worthy with the way this season has gone but I'm hedging due to the Bryant injury. 
15 Virginia Tech Hokies
16 Michigan State Spartans
17 Washington Huskies
18 Michigan Wolverines O'Korn sucks. Best win might be @Purdue. I saw Michigan fans complaining about being dropped excessively after losing in a monsoon to MSU but I have a hard time believing that Michigan could compete with any of the teams above them on this list. 
19 Texas A&M Aggies
20 USF Bulls
21 South Carolina Gamecocks
22 NC State Wolfpack
23 Virginia Cavaliers
24 Memphis Tigers
25 Auburn Tigers
