Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 14, 2019, 10:26 p.m.
Overall Rationale: My ballot places 0 weight on preseason expectations. I redo the rankings from scratch every week. IMPORTANT NOTE: I am treating the Baylor-Texas Tech game as a 3-7 point win in 1OT for Texas Tech, due to the inexcusable officiating error that saved Baylor in the first OT. Big movers are Georgia (-5), Florida (-5), Texas (-4), Cincinnati (+4), and Baylor (-4). Minnesota (22), NDSU (23), App State (24), and Washington (25) enter the ballot this week.

Georgia lost, so Bama moves up. Pretty good win over A&M. +1 |

Moving up with the shutout win over MSU and Georgia's loss. +1 |

Fuck. +3 |

Still no wins of note other than A&M, and that A&M win has lost a lot of its shine too.+0 |

Auburn moves up with the Florida and Georgia losses. +2 |

They lost to LSU this week, yes, but the Auburn win helps to prop up their ranking.-5 |

Yes, they lost the RRS. But it was a one score game against a top 5 team, and they're still well on their way to making the Big XII CCG again. They can't slip up again, though. -4 |
16 |
![]() |
Big bye week for SMU. +3 |
17 |
![]() |
Tulane and SMU passing Michigan had more to do with the unconvincing nature of Michigan's win than it did with either of their performances, though Tulane blew out their opponent on Saturday. +3 |

I'm more and more convinced that Michigan is a bad team. I've seen very little from them to make me think otherwise. +0 |

Another good week for Cincy. Impressive win over Houston.  +4 |

As I said in my overall rationale, I ranked the Bears as if they lost to Texas Tech by 3-7 in OT. Inexcusably bad reffing is the only reason that didn't happen. -4 |
21 |
![]() |
Wazzu is not a good enough team for ASU to be rewarded for beating them on a last minute drive. But there were a lot of losses down here in my rankings last week. +3 |
22 |
![]() |
If they keep winning, they'll keep rising. They enter my rankings here for the first time this season. |
23 |
![]() |
NDSU reenters after a brief exit from my ballot last week. |
24 |
![]() |
App State enters my ballot for the first time this year. |
25 |
![]() |
UW picks up a win against a good-but-not-great Arizona team. It wasn't as much of a blowout as the scoreboard showed (I would know) but it was a solid victory. They reenter my rankings at 25. |
