Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 13, 2017, 7:02 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Dropped Out: Iowa State, Iowa, Toledo, NC State.  Some of my changes from last week might seem a bit overdone with how much some teams moved, but there were blocks of teams all near each other in my poll who lost (7-9, six teams from 15-24).
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | +0: Way to blueball the country |
2 | Miami Hurricanes | +2: Let's hope the #2 teams loses again soon |
3 | Wisconsin Badgers | +0: Destroyed Iowa |
4 | Oklahoma Sooners | +1: Moves up thanks to a win over TCU and a loss ahead |
5 | Clemson Tigers | +1: Moves up thanks to a loss ahead |
6 | Auburn Tigers | +4: Destroyed Georgia |
7 | Ohio State Buckeyes | +6: Beat the hell out of Michigan State |
8 | USC Trojans | +4: Moves up thanks to losses ahead |
9 | UCF Knights | +2: Moves up thanks to losses ahead |
10 | Georgia Bulldogs | -8: It might sound like something a rival would say but I had a very strong feeling that Georgia and Notre Dame were heavily riding each others hype to get to this point. |
11 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | +3: I don't know how the refs could have ruled that an interception, but a win is a win |
12 | Penn State Nittany Lions | +4: Losses ahead |
13 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | -6: See Georgia's explanation.  I was really rooting for Notre Dame here.  All the fairweather Miami fans I know are starting to come out of nowhere and they are annoying as hell |
14 | Washington State Cougars | +6: Got a win, losses ahead gave them a boost |
15 | TCU Horned Frogs | -6: Really lost to Oklahoma |
16 | Washington Huskies | -8: Lost to Stanford |
17 | Memphis Tigers | +0: Bye week |
18 | West Virginia Mountaineers | +5: Got a win |
19 | Michigan Wolverines | NR: Yeah I have them ahead of Michigan State, sue me |
20 | USF Bulls | NR: Sure, why not |
21 | Stanford Cardinal | NR: Beat Washington |
22 | LSU Tigers | NR: Beat Arkansas |
23 | Michigan State Spartans | -8: Wow what a loss |
24 | Virginia Tech Hokies | -6: Lost to GT |
25 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | -4: Come on you guys had 'em! |
