Submitted: Nov. 5, 2018, 8:28 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Hybrid polling using strength of record, efficiency, and a couple other stats correlated with the CFP polls history to predict how the committee will rank teams.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
2 | Clemson Tigers | |
3 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
4 | Michigan Wolverines | |
5 | Georgia Bulldogs | |
6 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
7 | West Virginia Mountaineers | |
8 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
9 | LSU Tigers | |
10 | Washington State Cougars | |
11 | Kentucky Wildcats | |
12 | UCF Knights | Feel dirty, especially with UCF's strength of record at 12 and climbing to put them behind 2 2 loss teams but,LSU and Kentucky have the 6th and 7th ranked strength of schedule respectively and the committee doesn't like to punish losses to top opponents especially top SEC teams. |

14 | NC State Wolfpack | |
15 | Syracuse Orange | |
16 | Florida Gators | |
17 | Washington Huskies | |
