ACCBiggz Ballot for 2019 Week 8

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 14, 2019, 3:42 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I try not to project wins/losses and value what has currently been accomplished by teams. While a team may *look* to be one of the very best, I can only evaluate what their current record is - thus, if it lacks a quality win or a BYE week has allowed others to do more I will rank as such.It is important to note it's only based on what has happened to date. Those who have had an early bye week will get their chance to catch up, and when they do they'll be evaluated as such. Teams won't be artificially ranked highly just because I think they are better. The eye test is a perfectly valid method, but one I do not weigh heavily vs. actual on-field results.

Rank Team Reason
1 LSU Tigers The level of play combined with their resume makes them the clear-cut #1 team in the country at this point.
2 Ohio State Buckeyes
3 Wisconsin Badgers
4 Alabama Crimson Tide
5 Clemson Tigers
6 Oklahoma Sooners OU finally makes their leap toward the top with the Red River Shootout behind them. The remaining schedule has more challenges than Clemson's and gives them an opportunity to leap the reigning champs.
7 Florida Gators
8 Georgia Bulldogs
9 Auburn Tigers
10 Penn State Nittany Lions Penn State currently sits behind some one-loss SEC teams due to a lack of a signature win. Iowa may be that for some, but I am hesitant. Ohio State and Michigan await and as long as they don't lose they will leapfrog those 1-loss teams when the time comes.
11 SMU Mustangs
12 Boise State Broncos
13 Minnesota Golden Gophers
14 Baylor Bears
15 Oregon Ducks
16 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
17 Arizona State Sun Devils
18 Utah Utes
19 Michigan Wolverines
20 Wake Forest Demon Deacons
21 Memphis Tigers
22 California Golden Bears
23 Missouri Tigers
24 Washington Huskies
25 Appalachian State Mountaineers
