hokies220 Ballot for 2018 Week 14

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 26, 2018, 9:57 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Computer poll results were weird this week so figured fuck it we'll do it live. Overall the only team out is Pitt replaced with TAMU. Top four won't feature two from the same conference like always, top 7 are the only teams left with a chance. 1-8 is easy and 17-25 is easy. 9-16 though whew so many equal teams.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide Duh.
2 Clemson Tigers Duh.
3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Duh.
4 Oklahoma Sooners Ahead of UGA because fuck having two teams from the same conference in, and ahead of OSU because they didn't get blown the fuck out by a 6-6 team.
5 Georgia Bulldogs If they want in all they have to do is beat Bama. Easy right?
6 Ohio State Buckeyes Very likely could be in with a win.
7 UCF Knights The injury to Milton is the only thing keeping them behind OSU for me.
8 Michigan Wolverines Blown the fuck out by OSU which everyone should've seen coming because lol michigan football.
9 Texas Longhorns Do I think they're the 9th best team? No. Do I have any idea who the 9th best team is? Also no, but Texas has a chance to win their conference.
10 Boise State Broncos Throwing some respect on their name before they probably fuck it up and lose to Fresno at home.
11 Washington Huskies Took care of Wazzu because of course they did. Three close losses is respectable but those losses are to slightly better than average teams so IDK man you tell me if they're good or not.
12 Penn State Nittany Lions Really really really should've beaten MSU.
13 LSU Tigers Maybe TAMU didn't deserve that last second chance, but it's not like LSU also had SEVEN GODDAMN OVERTIMES to rectify the refs mistake. That's on y'all.
14 Washington State Cougars Two losses, no signature win. The Pac-12 isn't getting a second NY6 slot this year.
15 West Virginia Mountaineers Maybe should be higher, and above Texas, but this is a clusterfuck of teams and really who has WVU beaten..outside of...Texas? Wait shit.
16 Utah Utes Somehow someway came back against BYU and can make the Rose Bowl with a revenge win against Washington.
17 Northwestern Wildcats Just playing really solid football lately. Certainly have my doubts on whether they can beat OSU though.
18 Kentucky Wildcats H2H over Florida..so there's some consistency in grading for you.
19 Florida Gators Kept FSU out of a bowl game and at 9-3 there's a chance they go to the NY6 which I kinda disagree with but whatever.
20 Fresno State Bulldogs With a win and a UCF loss they'll get the G5 NY6 slot.
21 Texas A&M Aggies Maybe shouldn't have beaten LSU, but they did and two of their losses are to the #1 and #2 teams. I have them here ahead of MSU because I think they've had a more respectable season despite losing to MSU. 
22 Army West Point Chance to beat their arch rival and secure a ten win regular season? Check.
23 Syracuse Orange Who would've thought Syracuse would be 9-3. Had they beaten Pitt they'd probably be ~10
24 Utah State Aggies Staying ranked for a solid season.
25 Cincinnati Bearcats Beat down a hapless UConn or ECU or someone terrible, but 10-2 is still solid.
