vanburen1845 Ballot for 2018 Week 11
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 5, 2018, 9:28 a.m.
Overall Rationale: top 25 teams need to stop losing this is getting really hard. I went back to my old reliable, scrolling through the standings so I could populate a top 25 without a bunch of possibly undeserving 3 loss teams. Is Utah or some other 3 lose guy better than UAB or Buffalo? Probably but I'm going to have fun with the G5 until those teams win more to offset the losses.I think the big question is the order of the potential big 10 and big 12 champs for the playoffs if none of the top 3 lose. 
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Did they make LSU look bad or is LSU overrated? Tune in next week when the same thing happens to Miss St. |
| 2 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Victory for the transitive property in the Northwestern Michigan Triangle  |
| 3 |
Clemson Tigers
|
I will probably flip them with ND again at some point but I think I can justify ND having the better win. We'll see by the end. |

Can't tell if this is for real. Top ten gameday in Yankee Stadium? Then Notre Dame wins and we decide they suck. |
| 13 |
UCF Knights
|
Look out it's up to like 3 wins with teams barely over .500. There is a path for G5 teams to make the playoff but this is not it. |
