Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Sept. 24, 2018, 1:55 p.m.
Overall Rationale: I'm listing mine as hybrid because I'm following a formula of set criteria, but doing it all by hand and I'm deciding any tiebreakers. A few notable outliers this week with ND, Maryland, BYU, and Buffalo all being quite high. While Clemson is still a bit lower than I'd like. Since FCS wins don't count my poll really likes teams from the B1G and SEC that have either all FBS wins or multiple P5 wins.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|

Pretty self explanatory, four big wins with three of them being over P5 teams. |
2 |
![]() |
Also three P5 wins, but they're honestly helped out a lot by Michigan continuing to do well. |
3 |
![]() |
I also give road wins a bit of bonus so with two blowouts of P5 teams on the road leaps them up to #3. Huge matchup this weekend against OSU. |

I was a little surprised to see Stanford this high, although by total points they're behind UGA, OSU, and LSU. But I won't put two teams from the same conference in the top four. |
5 |

Tied with OSU, but wins at Scar and Mizzou are more impressive than murdering helpless beavers and buttgers. |
6 |

Still though I wouldn't want to play OSU right now. |

Kinda got complacent and nearly let Louisiana Tech back in to it. |

If Army had managed to pull the upset Duke would've retained their top 4 spot. As it is though they're probably the favorite to win the Coastal now. |
9 |

Struggled mightily with the triple option, interested to see how they bounce back against a 3-1 Baylor team. |

Last week my poll had Miss State here and Kentucky at 19, but after they beat the crap out of them they jumped quite a bit. Snell is the truth. |
11 |
![]() |
Nearly hurt by GT being bad almost as much as they were helped for the road win. |
12 |
![]() |
Way too high after getting beaten down by Temple, but with wins over Minnesota and Texas they jumped back in with a vengeance. |
13 |
![]() |
Also jumped right back into the mix with a road win by double digits, regardless of how it happened. Had Iowa won they would've likely jumped up to around here. |
14 |
![]() |
I don't like having them in and not having Cal, who is 27th in my poll, but it's honestly my fault for counting them as G5 rather than P5. |

GT and Illinois losing dropped USF a little this week. |

Buffalo was already a top 30 team in my poll last week, so beating down Rutgers on the road caused them to jump up a bit, even though we all know Rutgers is terrible I'm ok with giving the Bulls some recognition for starting 4-0. |

Back to back 15+ point wins over USC and TCU got Texas into my poll for the first time this season. So Texas is not back they just arrived. |

Because my poll doesn't punish losses to P5 teams very much they stayed ranked, while MSU is still on the outside looking in. Near the bottom here things get tightly packed so had Louisville beaten UVA they would've dropped ~6 spots. |

Ahead of the team they already beat as they're tied in points. |

Welcome back, Huskies. |

Also welcome to UNT. Aside from FAU last year this might be the first time a CUSA team has made it into my poll. |

Good win on the road @Vandy now they get their Wildcat Kryptonite. |

Does Babers finally have Syracuse fully turned? Find out against Clemson. |

Really beat the crap out of KSU, but now they have to travel to Lubbock to take on a team with a little more ability on offense, the Red Raiders came in just shy of the top 25 at #26 btw. |

![]() |
They've done nothing but dominate since losing to Notre Dame week one. Really interested in the game against Maryland in two weeks. |
