RatherBeYachting Ballot for 2018 Week 5

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 24, 2018, 12:24 p.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide Alabama + Great QB = Everyone else might as well stop trying.
2 Clemson Tigers Keeping them above Georgia and tOSU because I don't see anyone in the ACC who can hold a candle to them. 
3 Georgia Bulldogs Gave Mizzou their first loss. 
4 Ohio State Buckeyes They're looking really good, better than I thought, so they leapfrog Oklahoma.
5 Stanford Cardinal Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, as Stanford got outplayed - BUT if you're that lucky you have to be pretty good. Their passing attack is legit.
6 Oklahoma Sooners Oklahoma shouldn't be going to overtime with Army.
7 LSU Tigers Not a good look to give up that many passing yards to a G-5. 
8 West Virginia Mountaineers Will Grier is the real deal, and they have a defense now?!?!
9 Penn State Nittany Lions Sleepwalked in the first half against Illinois, but then they turned it on. 
10 UCF Knights Derailed the Lane Train, and Milton remains one of my favorite players in CFB.
11 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Notre Dame fans were defending Wimbush, but their offense appears to be way more potent without him.
12 Auburn Tigers Arkansas is awful, but Auburn's defense is clearly legit.
13 Washington Huskies Their offense is very uninspiring, but their defense is legitimately terrifying.
14 Michigan Wolverines After the season opener they've looked like a top-10 team.
15 Wisconsin Badgers Big in conference win and they have the schedule to rattle of some wins.
16 Kentucky Wildcats I got on the Kentucky bandwagon after the Florida win. And they're making me proud.
17 California Golden Bears Huge game for Cal this week, we'll see if they're legit or a flash in the pan.
18 Miami Hurricanes Recovering nicely after the season opening debacle.
19 Duke Blue Devils 4-0 is 4-0.
20 Colorado Buffaloes Moving in thanks to a bye week and attrition.
21 BYU Cougars The Wisconsin win is impressive, let's see if they can beat another UW.
22 Texas Tech Red Raiders Kliff out here saving his job.
23 Michigan State Spartans It's hard to tell how good they are, but it's been tough to second guess Dantonio this season.
24 Texas Longhorns Texas is back-ish.
25 Oregon Ducks I almost didn't want to rank them, but for one half they looked like the best team in the Pac-12. The Cal game will tell us more.
