ttsci Ballot for 2018 Week 7

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 7, 2018, 3:45 p.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish I was not impressed with the first three games of the season but the Irish have looked good since then. 
2 Alabama Crimson Tide Short of a shocker @LSU or vs Mississippi State, I don't see Alabama losing a game in the regular season, but it seems unsporting to not give other teams a chance at the spotlight. The Tide is good. We know they're good. But kicking the crap out of a fairly hapless Arkansas isn't quite as nice of a win as winning big @VT, so ND gets the nod this week.
3 Ohio State Buckeyes
4 Georgia Bulldogs
5 UCF Knights
6 Clemson Tigers The experience with Scareacuse and Texas A&M were iffy games but ultimately meaningless if Clemson wins out. I'm not sure NC State will be able to get it done, but a surging South Carolina could play spoiler at the end of the year.
7 West Virginia Mountaineers WVU's last two games have been messy but ultimately victories. Odd as it may seem, it's probably between WVU and Texas as Big XII favorites.
8 Oregon Ducks I'm high on Oregon this year. I think they've flown under the radar and that game against Stanford would have been a victory minus some awful luck. Ducks still have a playoff shot in a PAC-12 with UCLA and USC down.
9 Penn State Nittany Lions
10 Texas Longhorns ????????? i don't even know anymore
11 Michigan Wolverines
12 Florida Gators
13 Colorado Buffaloes
14 Oklahoma Sooners
15 LSU Tigers
16 Kentucky Wildcats
17 Washington Huskies
18 Wisconsin Badgers
19 Washington State Cougars
20 Texas A&M Aggies
21 Miami Hurricanes
22 Appalachian State Mountaineers
23 NC State Wolfpack
24 USF Bulls
25 Cincinnati Bearcats I'm skeptical about the Bearcats but ultimately they are still undefeated. Unfortunately they don't face as much of a test until late this year, so expect some large moves up if they manage to get past both USF and UCF.
