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

| 4 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
+0: Gotta respect being undefeated still |
| 5 |
Miami Hurricanes

+4: I've been very high on NC State all season and Notre Dame had a good win over them. |

Oklahoma State Cowboys

+1: Moves up thanks to losses ahead |
| 10 |
Penn State Nittany Lions

| 11 |
Washington Huskies
|
+0: Handled UCLA |
| 12 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
-8: Lost to Iowa State |
