T-Thugs Ballot for 2019 Week 7

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 6, 2019, 10:12 a.m.

Overall Rationale: I remake my poll each week based on what teams have done this season. It's starting to be more like everyone else's but has a few anomalies like Alabama is lower than they probably should be because they haven't played quality teams yet. I move teams up quick when they deserve it. 

Rank Team Reason
1 LSU Tigers LSU has a nice road win over Texas. They also have a nice win over Tulane.
2 Florida Gators Florida got a huge win over Auburn this weekend. Their matchup with LSU next week could solidify the winner's spot at the top of my poll for a while.
3 Georgia Bulldogs They have a very nice win over Notre Dame. 
4 Wisconsin Badgers Wisconsin's blowout win of Michigan looks a little better this week with Michigan's win over Iowa. 
5 Ohio State Buckeyes Ohio State continues to blow out opponents, with this week's blowout coming over Michigan State. 
6 Oklahoma Sooners Oklahoma is killing everyone. Their win over Texas Tech looks a little better with Tech dismantling Oklahoma State.
7 Auburn Tigers Tough loss for Auburn this weekend. They still have a very nice resume though with wins over Oregon and Texas A&M. 
8 Clemson Tigers Clemson is undefeated but their best win is over Texas A&M. If A&M moves to 3-3 this week, that wont really be a great win anymore. 
9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish The Irish's only loss is on the road to Georgia. They have a nice win over Virginia. 
10 Texas Longhorns Texas's only loss is to LSU. Their best win (Oklahoma State) took a little shot this week as Ok st got beat by Texas Tech. They have a huge opportunity this weekend playing against Oklahoma. A win would jump Texas to the top of the 1 loss crew. 
11 Penn State Nittany Lions Penn State is 5-0. Their best win is Pittsburgh. Hard to put them behind Alabama whose best win is Duke when Pitt beat Duke. 
12 Alabama Crimson Tide Alabama is killing everyone, but their signature win of the early season is Duke, who just lost to Pitt. They'll move back up in my poll as they start playing the good SEC west teams. 
13 Memphis Tigers Memphis remains undefeated, with a nice win over Navy. Navy is now 3-1 with a win over Air Force. 
14 Baylor Bears Baylor remains undefeated. They have wins over Iowa State and Kansas State.
15 Michigan Wolverines This may be a bit high. Michigan got absolutely worked by Wisconsin. However, Michigan picked up a nice win over Iowa this week.
16 Oregon Ducks Oregon's only loss is to Auburn, and they picked up a nice win over California this week.
17 Boise State Broncos Boise State is undefeated. Best win is over Florida State. 
18 Wake Forest Demon Deacons Wake forest is undefeated but lacking in quality wins. Highlights are wins over Boston College and North Carolina. 
19 Virginia Cavaliers Virginia's only loss is to Notre Dame. Their best win is over 4-2 Pitt. 
20 Utah Utes Utah has a loss to USC and a win over Washington State.
21 Minnesota Golden Gophers Minnesota is undefeated but has played a truly terrible schedule. Best win is Purdue? 
22 SMU Mustangs
23 Arizona State Sun Devils Arizona State has a bad loss to Colorado but they have a couple nice wins including California and at Michigan State. 
24 Iowa Hawkeyes Iowa had a tough loss to Michigan this weekend. They've got a big chance to right the ship playing Penn State next weekend. 
25 Tulane Green Wave Their only loss is to LSU. Best win is over Army.
