nbingham196 Ballot for 2019 Week 5

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 22, 2019, 8:04 a.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Clemson Tigers Won easy game still probably top 2 but we likely won't know until the playoffs
2 Alabama Crimson Tide Won easy game still probably top 2 but division play will show
3 Wisconsin Badgers They made Michigan look terrible and I don't think they are. Incredibly dominant through three games
4 Georgia Bulldogs Beat a good Notre Dame team, but not by as much as I was expecting
5 Ohio State Buckeyes Killed Miami (OH). Conference play will also show us how good they are
6 LSU Tigers Offense looks incredible, defense not so much. If defense gets figured out they could upset Bama
7 Auburn Tigers Looked good against A&M, never felt like they were going to lose
8 Oklahoma Sooners I think Oklahoma is probably better than the 8th best team, their best win however at the moment is over a 1-3 Houston team.
9 Oregon Ducks Beat Stanford pretty easily in a rivalry game. Should be favorite to win Pac-12 now.
10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Played a closer game to Georgia than I thought they would
11 Texas Longhorns Got their best win of the season with their victory over a top 35 Oklahoma State team
12 Iowa Hawkeyes Didn't play
13 Penn State Nittany Lions Didn't play
14 Boise State Broncos Still looked a bit iffy in the first half , but came back in the second half once again to beat a pretty good Air force team. The Broncos should be heavy favorite to be the G5 representative in the NY6 bowl
15 Florida Gators Still looked ugly against a pretty terrible TN team, but they won by 31. Should probably finish 2nd in the East
16 Michigan Wolverines Did not look good at all against Wisconsin. I think that might be more on Wisconsin than on Michigan, but we will see
17 Texas A&M Aggies Only lost by a touchdown, but never really looked like they were going to win. I still think the Aggies are one of the 25 best teams in the country despite the two losses thus far
18 Utah Utes Lost to a team that they are probably better than
19 Memphis Tigers Didn't play
20 Washington Huskies Beat up on a BYU team that has looked dangerous.
21 California Golden Bears Squeaked out a win over a mediocre Ole Miss squad. Their overall product has looked much worse than Washington so Washington is higher than them despite the head to head
22 North Dakota State Bison Last week I had NDSU at 25 because I didn't think there were 25 teams deserving of being ranked. This week I feel like only 21 teams deserve to be ranked so NDSU moves up to 22. They had their best win of the season beating FCS #4 UC Davis and still haven't lost since 2017.
23 Virginia Cavaliers I'm not sure Virginia deserves to be ranked after their last two ugly weeks, but who else deserves to be here? 
24 Kansas State Wildcats Didn't play
25 UCF Knights Loss to Pitt didn't look good, but I still think they are one of the 25 best teams Next 5: Michigan State, App State, Army, Wake Forest, and Oklahoma State
