nickknx865 Ballot for 2017 Final

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Jan. 10, 2018, 7:38 a.m.

Overall Rationale: My final poll for the last few years has always involved me ranking the CFP teams in slots 1-4, based on finishing position. From there, I will just use my least squares rankings and explain where the teams were slotted in my ratings if they were not slotted where my ratings suggested.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide National Champion
2 Georgia Bulldogs National Runner-Up
3 Clemson Tigers 3rd Place (by virtue of losing to national champion Alabama)
4 Oklahoma Sooners 4th Place (by virtue of losing to national runner-up Georgia)
5 Ohio State Buckeyes 2072 (the top team in my ratings, but ranked 5th due to missing the CFP)
6 Penn State Nittany Lions 2051 (the 3rd place team in my ratings, but ranked 6th to due CFP slotting)
7 Wisconsin Badgers 2039 (the 5th place team in ratings, but 7th in the final poll due to CFP slotting)
