Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 10, 2018, 11:57 p.m.
Overall Rationale: So glad football is back. Teams that just missed my rankings are Oregon, Colorado, Vanderbilt, Michigan, and Iowa.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Someone please stop them :( |
| 2 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Also stop these guys! I don't have much trash talk against my asshole OU friends. :( |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Thought South Carolina would prove to be a tougher opponent. Boy was I wrong |
| 4 |
Auburn Tigers
|
Easy win |
| 5 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Easy win |
| 6 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Didn't crush my Aggies like I feared! Thank goodness. I like to think this is more because the Aggies might be sneaky good and less that Clemson is worse than people expected. Clemson on both sides looked very good at times. |
| 7 |
West Virginia Mountaineers
|
Easy win |
| 8 |
LSU Tigers
|
Easy win |
| 9 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
so USC v Texas should be exciting... |
| 10 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
Took care of business like I expected |
| 11 |
Washington Huskies
|
Easy win |
| 12 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Thought Pitt would be way tougher than they ended up being. Another big turd on my face |
| 13 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
Easy win |
| 14 |
Boise State Broncos
|
Easy win |
| 15 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|

| 16 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Sooo maybe Notre Dame and Michigan aren't as good as we all thought or Testies State is about to ball out |
| 17 |
UCF Knights
|
Easy clean win |
| 18 |
Minnesota Golden Gophers
|
I personally feel like Fresno is a good win. I guess time will tell |
| 19 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Happily surprised by my Aggies. The Sumlin/Mazzone Aggies would have been blown out at home, but not this time. The team came so close to a big upset! A&M played like a top 25 team ~~Quality Loss~~ |
| 20 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Solid win |
| 21 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Quietly crushing opponents. Where is this 'Wyoming Defense'? |
| 22 |
Houston Cougars

Aaaand here is the Sumlin/Mazzone blow out I was talking about. So sorry Arizona |
| 23 |
Washington State Cougars
|
Two solid wins for the Pirate |

MSU couldn't handle the firmness |
