The-Gothic-Castle Ballot for 2018 Week 7

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 8, 2018, 5:34 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Computer poll that takes into consideration performance in games (out-competing opponent averages), Strength of Schedule, and Margin of Victory. 

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes The hardest SOS so far stays with Ohio State for the second week in a row. 
2 Clemson Tigers
3 Georgia Bulldogs
4 Alabama Crimson Tide I mean, Jesus. I think they should be number 1 based on the fact that they manage to beat their opponents by an average of 40 points/game without playing their starters the whole game, but they still haven't played anyone. I want my poll to put Alabama at 1, I really do, but their SOS so far has just been weak. Later in the season when they start playing tough opponents (and winning, no doubt) they will move to #1. 
5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
6 Penn State Nittany Lions
7 West Virginia Mountaineers
8 LSU Tigers
9 Florida Gators
10 Michigan Wolverines
11 Kentucky Wildcats
12 Washington Huskies
13 Texas Longhorns Texas appears in my poll for the first time ever! I kept saying "If they win through the OU game they will be ranked" and here they are, 1 spot in front of OU. Also a much more appropriate ranking, I feel, than the AP's #9 spot. 
14 Oklahoma Sooners
15 Appalachian State Mountaineers
16 NC State Wolfpack
17 Miami Hurricanes
18 Duke Blue Devils
19 Texas A&M Aggies
20 Mississippi State Bulldogs
21 Iowa Hawkeyes
22 Utah State Aggies
23 Auburn Tigers
24 Wisconsin Badgers
25 Colorado Buffaloes
