Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 1, 2018, 10:27 a.m.
Overall Rationale: My scrapper is borked because of changes to the ESPN source. Going to be working on it this week to get it working again.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
No reason to think that Alabama shouldn't be number 1. Looked impressive against everyone they've faced so far. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Solid wins vs TCU and PSU put Ohio State over Georgia for now. |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Played well against all their competition so far, just hasn't been very good competition yet. |
| 4 |
LSU Tigers
|
I'm high on LSU right now. Maybe that's a mistake, the next 4 weeks should be telling. |
| 5 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Had a scare vs a solid Syracuse team, but Clemson is still a powerful team that is in the driver's seat for the ACC. |
| 6 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Solid game against Stanford, have another tough test at VT this week. |
| 7 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Still working strong just haven't played very many quality opponents yet. |
| 8 |
West Virginia Mountaineers
|
Solid offense, got a little slow during the second half against TT. |
| 9 |
Auburn Tigers
|
Rough game vs Southern Miss including a lightning delay. Still got the win though. |
| 10 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Played a great game against a solid OSU team, just wasn't able to pull it out in the end. This is still a solid bunch though. |
| 11 |
Washington Huskies
|
Good game against BYU, if they can take care of business for UCLA then winning their next two weeks will be beneficial. |
| 12 |
UCF Knights
|
Still winning games. |
| 13 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
Strong team, winning games. Looks like the only team that can challenge Georgia for the East. |
| 14 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Has been taking care of business since the loss to ND. Had a scare vs NW this week though. |
| 15 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
Played a tough game on the road in South Bend. Still a good team, just maybe not top 10. |
| 16 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
That loss to BYU is still a blemish, but there's not really anyone else in the division that can challenge Wisconsin. I still expect them to win the West. |
| 17 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Close loss at Stanford followed by a win at Cal.Team is still playing well but has a tough game against Washington coming up. |
| 18 |
Texas Longhorns
|
After the Maryland game we though Texas was back to not being back, but wins against USC and TCU boosted them a bit. Let's see how they play in the RRS. |
| 19 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
A solid team that had a loss to a (apparently) good LSU team to start the season. They just haven't played anyone else nearly as challenging yet. |
| 20 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
I mean, they're undefeated, but their schedule is pretty soft. |
| 21 |
Florida Gators
|
Only loss was to a Kentucky team that looks like a contender. Had a...showing...against MSU but still came out with the win on the road. |
| 22 |
Michigan State Spartans
|
Winning games but lost on the road to ASU. Their hardest games are still to come. |
| 23 |
USF Bulls
|
Also still winning games. Looking forward to the rivalry game later in the season. |
| 24 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Had a rough game vs TT but bounced back. |
| 25 |
Syracuse Orange
|
Only loss is a close one to Clemson on the road. Very solid team who looks capable. |
