Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 8, 2018, 7:03 a.m.
Overall Rationale: This part of the season is, IMO, the second-hardest part of the season to rank (beyond the first week or two). There's too many teams still undefeated or with 1 loss and there's still pre-season ranking inertia at play so it's difficult to determine who has the best/worst loss and who has the strongest signature win. Also, what the hell do you do with the G5's who are undefeated but have yet to face an elite team and may not until the end of the year?

15 | Kentucky Wildcats | |
16 | Oregon Ducks | |
