Ghost_of_Dude Ballot for 2018 Week 13
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 19, 2018, 10:12 a.m.
Overall Rationale: At this point, only #1 through #5, Washington State, and MAYBE Ohio State (if they absolutely rinse Michigan) have playoff hopes. Only the top five control their destiny.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 2 |
Clemson Tigers
|
|
| 3 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 4 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 5 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 6 |
UCF Knights
|
UCF played lights out against a pretty good Cincinnati team. Because of their schedule, this is probably about the ceiling for them. RIP the playoff dream. |
| 7 |
Washington State Cougars
|
I really like this Washington State team right now. With a win over Washington next week, they deserve playoff conversation. However, they'll need some help. Cougar fans should be rooting for Ohio State come Sunday. |
| 8 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Miserable performance on defense against Kansas. A performance that, to me, has ended my faith in any kind of playoff contention. |
| 9 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
I might catch some shit for having Ohio State above LSU, but when I'm not sure who to choose between close teams, I like to rely on computer models, and the computer models generally prefer Ohio State, eye test be damned. After some really poor performances over the past three games, they would need to demolish Michigan and NW for me to feel like this team deserves the playoffs. |
