Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 30, 2017, 9:17 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Dropped Out: USF, Michigan.  I was at WLOCP so I didn't get to watch any games except UF-UGA so all my "analysis" is from watching highlights on ESPN and YouTube.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | +0 |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | +1: Fuck |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | +3: Great comeback win against Penn State.  I wish I could have watched it not as highlights |
4 | Wisconsin Badgers | +0: Gotta respect being undefeated still |
5 | Miami Hurricanes | +2: Moves up thanks to losses ahead |
6 | Oklahoma Sooners | +2: Same reason as Miami |
7 | Clemson Tigers | +2: Same reason as Miami |
8 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | +4: I've been very high on NC State all season and Notre Dame had a good win over them. |
9 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | +1: Moves up thanks to losses ahead |
10 | Penn State Nittany Lions | -8: Yeah they lost to Ohio State, but a loss is a loss and I'm "punishing" them for it.  There's still plenty of time left in the season to get back into the top four. |
11 | Washington Huskies | +0: Handled UCLA |
12 | TCU Horned Frogs | -8: Lost to Iowa State |
13 | Virginia Tech Hokies | +1: Beat Duke |
14 | Iowa State Cyclones | +10: Very good win against TCU. |
15 | UCF Knights | +4: Benefited from losses ahead |
16 | Auburn Tigers | +1: Solid Bye week |
17 | USC Trojans | +3: All according to Darnold's plan |
18 | Stanford Cardinal | +4: Benefited from losses ahead despite the poor performance against Oregon State. |
19 | NC State Wolfpack | -6: Lost to a very good Notre Dame team. |
20 | Arizona Wildcats | NR: Has looked incredible recently |
21 | Michigan State Spartans | -5: Lost to Northwestern |
22 | Memphis Tigers | +1: Beat Tulane |
23 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | NR: I thought they would start to fall off after the losses to Georgia and Auburn but they managed to keep themselves afloat. |
24 | LSU Tigers | NR: They've been looking a lot better since the loss to Troy.  Good Bye week gets them up to #20. |
25 | Washington State Cougars | -10: Holy Moly Arizona beat the shit out of them |
