Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 5, 2017, 10:33 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Top four are who I'd pick now. Tried to be resume based for the top ten because I think there are only ten good teams left. Everyone else is meh and I just picked them out of a list on who I thought was better except when teams have the same records and a head to head to compare. Like I think USC is better than Wazzu, but they lost the head to head and don't deserve to be ahead. Also tried to rank every team with two losses or better.

NC State fell out but Michigan State gave them a boost. Big game at Miami |

Wins @ the OSU's > wins @VT and home against Auburn mainly because VT fucking sucks |

Better wins than Bama even though they aren't blowing them out. |

Might go the entire regular season without a ranked(in my poll) win. |

Now controls their own destiny |

SMU nearly got the upset, but UCF has a solid win against Memphis helping prop them up. |

It's been said a million times but weak schedule. Win out and it'll take care if itself as no undefeated P5 champ will be left out. |

Last team with a prayer of making the playoffs, UCF doesn't but they've played a tougher schedule.  |

For 11-25 I just listed 15 teams and kinda picked who I'd least like to play. Solid win at home. |

Blown the fuck out by Iowa. Shouldn't happen if you actually want to make the playoffs. |

Head to head loss to OSU but at least they didn't get murdered. |

Actually, I suppose if Auburn won out they could have a case for the playoff even with two losses. |

Gotta get past SMU then it's likely going to be a rematch with UCF for the NY6 bowl. |

Only have losses to top ten teams, but they just can't get over their Boomer demons. Also, don't control their own destiny. I think. |

Surprised me by beating Stanford and containing Love. Only over USC because of H2H. |

Solid win against the fightin' Tate's |

Logan Woodside is the best QB nobody is paying attention to. This should finally be the year Toledo wins the MAC. Theoretically, they could make the NY6 with a little bit of chaos in the AAC. |

Still have that bad loss to UVA, but H2H over SDSU and have three decent opponents left to beef up their resume. |

Solid win, yeah the schedule is soft and they have a loss they couldn't afford. Bulls are playing well though. |

VT has played two good teams all year and been outscored 59-27. Only giving up 28 points in a big road loss isn't terrible, except they picked off Rozier three times and only managed to score 10 points. Also they forgot how to tackle. |

Defense remains scary. Offense was existent again. |
24 |
![]() |
Run run runnning the ball but it was against the worst team in FBS. Still 8-2 though. |
25 |
![]() |
Stayed ranked because of the two solid wins. But nobody was really deserving of the 25th spot IMO. I only listed 24 teams when thinking about who should be ranked. |
