GilBrandt Ballot for 2018 Week 5
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 24, 2018, 8:38 a.m.
Overall Rationale: The teams that just missed my ranking are Wisconsin, Mississippi State, Cincinnati, USF, and Maryland. Still attempting to figure out who is actually good and who isn't. A lot of new faces that I'm not used to ranking, so that's fun! My biggest changes this week (+5 spots): Mississippi State (UR), Notre Dame (+10), Virginia Tech (UR), Oklahoma State (UR), Washington State (UR), Texas A&M (UR), Miami (+6), Boston College (UR), Syracuse (+5), Minnesota (UR), TCU (UR), Kentucky (NEW), Oregon (NEW), Texas Tech (NEW), App State (NEW), Buffalo (NEW), Cal (NEW), and BYU (NEW)
