TaylorLeprechaun Ballot for 2017 Week 14
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 26, 2017, 11:11 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Dropped Out: Mississippi State, Boise State, South Carolina
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
+2: The last unbeaten P5 |
| 2 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
+2: moves up thanks to losses ahead |
| 3 |
Clemson Tigers
|
+2: Same reason as Clemson |
| 4 |
Auburn Tigers
|
+2: Took down Bama |
| 5 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
+2: I had a lot of trouble here picking tOSU or UGA for 5/6.  I ended up just sliding them both up two slots.  Both teams play current playoff teams (in my rankings), so the winner of the B1GCG and SECCG will act as "play-in games" to me. |
| 6 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
=2: See Ohio States explanation |
| 7 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
-5: Lost to Pitt as the last game of the regular season, but still has a shot at the playoff.  The ACCCG will also act as a "play-in game" for me. |
| 8 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
-7: Lost the biggest game of the season and no CCG to recover.  Need a lot of chaos to get in |
| 9 |
USC Trojans
|
+0: Similar to Bama, they need a lot of chaos to get in. |
| 10 |
UCF Knights
|
+0: The game against Memphis should be a fun one |
| 11 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|

| 12 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
+2: Losses ahead |
