stripes361 Ballot for 2018 Week 14

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Nov. 26, 2018, 8:32 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Performance/team quality ranking, based primarily on ESPN's FPI and Football Outsiders' S&P+ rankings. Not intended to be a resume ranking. Teams moved up and down from their spots in the computer rankings based on eye test, coaching, QB play, and other subjective factors.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide
2 Clemson Tigers
3 Georgia Bulldogs
4 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
5 Ohio State Buckeyes
6 Oklahoma Sooners
7 Michigan Wolverines
8 UCF Knights
9 Penn State Nittany Lions
10 West Virginia Mountaineers West Virginia performed to expectation against Oklahoma last week, so they stay at #10.
11 Washington Huskies Washington had an impressive win against Washington State, but I was already relatively down on the Cougars (ranked 15th in my poll last week). Still, I considered jumping the Huskies over WVU this week.
12 Mississippi State Bulldogs
13 Boise State Broncos
14 Fresno State Bulldogs
15 Texas A&M Aggies
16 Florida Gators
17 LSU Tigers
18 Washington State Cougars
19 Missouri Tigers
20 Auburn Tigers
21 Utah State Aggies
22 Iowa Hawkeyes
23 Stanford Cardinal
24 Texas Longhorns
25 Appalachian State Mountaineers App. St. had a terrific win over Troy and still has only one regulation loss this season. They should roll over UL-"Fake Flagship"-Lafayette and pose a fierce challenge for whomever they face in the New Orleans Bowl. No Honorable Mention this week as no teams clearly stood out to me after the 25 listed.
