Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 15, 2018, 8:54 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Honestly after like the top 15 it was a shit show to pick the top 25. App St has been on a roll after going to OT with PSU week1 and are one the top 5 Offenses in efficiency. USC and Miami have the talent to beat any team but the inconsistency to lose to any team. Ultimately the only reason I have Miami in the top 25 is because They have a top 5 Defense even if the offense is crap. At this point the ACC is playing like crap overall and if Clemson loses all the hope rests on NCSt or maybe Miami and the rest of the conferences cannibalizing themselves. SEC has a big game between Bama and LSU coming up soon. Notre Dame probably has no one else on the schedule that can beat them. And tOSU's only real test is Michigan. So the CFP is really starting to take Shape, and if I were to predict for the end of the season, 2 P5 conferences will be left out of the CFP for the first time (ND and two SEC)
