Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 1, 2018, 4:29 p.m.
Overall Rationale: There might be some seemingly random changes for teams that won or did not play in this week's rankings. The change is because I'm looking a lot more beyond record as we can begin to identify realistically good/great teams, and quality of schedule a lot better now.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Alabama has yet to play a ranked team, but that still isn't relevant. Their domination is consistently unreal. |
2 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
3 | LSU Tigers | |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
5 | Georgia Bulldogs | |
6 | Clemson Tigers | |
7 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
8 | Kentucky Wildcats | |
9 | Auburn Tigers | |
10 | Washington Huskies | |
11 | West Virginia Mountaineers | |
12 | NC State Wolfpack | The missed chance to play WVU at this moment is costly. The schedule otherwise is fairly underwhelming, and gives me uncertainty on their potential against a higher team.  |
13 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
14 | Michigan Wolverines | |
15 | Stanford Cardinal | |
16 | Syracuse Orange | |
17 | USF Bulls | |
18 | Cincinnati Bearcats | See UCF, but much worse. |
19 | UCF Knights | UCF is still undefeated, but the schedule is damaging, because I have no way to truly identify their potential. Their best win is likely Pitt, and their opponents have a combined 2 FBS wins through the season so far. Offense is violent, defense looks improved, but UCF still has yet to be tested and I am still waiting for something defining. |
20 | Miami Hurricanes | |
21 | Florida Gators | |
22 | Duke Blue Devils | |
23 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | |
24 | Texas Longhorns | |
25 | Colorado Buffaloes |
