Ticklebump Ballot for 2019 Week 2
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 4, 2019, 8:46 a.m.
Overall Rationale: I did a little shuffling based on my original poll and still tried to keep a tier concept to my work.T1 - Likely playoff teams - Clemson Bama tOSU OU.T2 - Likely conference championship teams - LSU Georgia ND (I know, no conference) Michigan Washington TAMUT3 - Conference contenders - Syracuse Wisconsin Texas Penn Sate Utah Gators IowaT4 - Everybody else - This field could include an extra 10-20 teams at this point in the season so take it with a bucket of salt - UCF Auburn UVA Boise St Oregon Miami BCDropped from my rankings - Iowa State. They won but that was an ugly win vs NIU.USC - No disrespect to Fresno, but the Trojans need to show more to stay in the numbers.VT - Was a homer pick from the start. Losing by a TD w/ 5 turnovers shows promise, but is not top 25 quality.
