hokies220 Ballot for 2018 Week 13

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Nov. 19, 2018, 4:39 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Had to take a few weeks off for personal reasons but I'm back with trying to judge this weird season. There's really only the top 9 left in the hunt for the CFP, sorry LSU but don't lose twice.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide Funnily enough Bama actually came in fifth in my computer poll but it also had Northwestern in the top 10
2 Clemson Tigers Killing everything
3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Thought maybe they hadn't been looking so hot then bitch slapped Syracuse in the face repeatedly.
4 Michigan Wolverines Best one loss team according to my computer poll. I think most people would agree though.
5 Georgia Bulldogs Just outside, but the get the chance to prove themselves in Atlanta soon.
6 Oklahoma Sooners The defense would probably cause them to get murdered by any of the teams above, but it would be fun to watch them try and stop the Sooner offense.
7 Washington State Cougars Apple Cup determines the KINGADANORF
8 UCF Knights A few upsets away from climbing higher.
9 Ohio State Buckeyes They control their own destiny unlike the way that Maryland guy couldn't control a pass.
10 LSU Tigers Best two loss team which sounds about right to me.
11 West Virginia Mountaineers Maybe losing last week means they'll finally beat OU but I doubt it.
12 Texas Longhorns Wouldn't it be fun to see Texas make the Sugar Bowl? No I don't really think so either.
13 Penn State Nittany Lions Best three loss team get at me.
14 Utah State Aggies They're obliterating teams, but overall weak schedule and needed a technicality to escape Fort Collins. Still though they'd probably beat my team by 100.
15 Boise State Broncos Well well well look who's back. Big game to decide the division this week against the good Aggies.
16 Washington Huskies Still could make the Rose Bowl. They've got three losses to not great team, but they've all been close and a few plays go their way and this team is still contending for a CFP berth.
17 Utah Utes Behind Washington due to H2H
18 Northwestern Wildcats Probably the best four loss team, the uncertainty about which Northwestern team will show up seems to have gone away. Which means I fully expect them to lose this week then win the B1G as a five loss team.
19 Kentucky Wildcats H2H over Florida but they've kinda faltered down the stretch.
20 Florida Gators Mizzou and nearly SCAR, but hey they beat Idaho.
21 Pittsburgh Panthers Throwing some respect on the name since they're division champs and have been looking strong. I hate it.
22 Fresno State Bulldogs Should've beaten Minnesota, but they'll get a chance at revenge against Boise. Maybe.
23 Army West Point Two games in a row against FCS teams late in the season? Going above and beyond the SEC teams.
24 Syracuse Orange Three losses to ranked teams, but without really any great wins but meh. They're probably better than Duke/Troy/App State who were around this same ranking.
25 Cincinnati Bearcats If Buffalo or UAB had handled business they'd be here instead, but Cincy is solid.
