Foxmcbowser42 Ballot for 2018 Week 11
Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Nov. 5, 2018, 1:42 p.m.
Overall Rationale: My poll is resume based. I assign points based on who you beat and how you win. I will then make eye test adjustments of +/-5. This is also the first week I assigned championship bonuses, as both Alabama and Georgia won their divisions. Full poll: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CeUXnLszyxCD7BobLevzj28_MAxsm_YG2SMCo9YkULs
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Alabama is a full 10 points ahead of UGA. UGA is 11 points ahead of Clemson. It's still just as crazy when you knock off the 5 point championship bonuses. Alabama looks to be the best team on the field, and this year it's resume backs it up. |
