Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 27, 2019, 2 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Dropped Texas and Virginia, replaced with Kansas State and Navy
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Clemson Tigers | As dominant as Bama, with one fluke vs UNC. Only common opponent (Texas A&M) both teams controlled the game equally. Defending national champs |
2 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
3 | LSU Tigers | Their Texas win lost its charm, I need to see them beat Alabama before I can truly believe they're a national title contender. I think Alabama beats Auburn by 3+ and Florida by 14+ |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Up 1 |
5 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Up 1 |
6 | Georgia Bulldogs | Up 2 |
7 | Florida Gators | Up 2 |
8 | Oklahoma Sooners | Down 4 - Close road loss to a good team |
9 | Utah Utes | Up 3 |
10 | Auburn Tigers | Played LSU tough, No change in ranking |
11 | Oregon Ducks | Overrrated in the AP poll, Utah looks better than them and Auburn beat them head to head. Close recent wins vs Mediocre Cal and Wazzu. |
12 | Baylor Bears | Up 2 |
13 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | Up 3 |
14 | Michigan Wolverines | Up 5 - Dominant win over a great team |
15 | SMU Mustangs | Up 2 |
16 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | Up 2 - Still hurt by brand in AP |
17 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Down 10 - Michigan is good but a blowout loss deserves a big drop |
18 | Wisconsin Badgers | Down 5 - Losing to Ohio State isn't bad but they weren't competitive and have looked like a different team the last 2 weeks |
19 | Appalachian State Mountaineers | Up 1 |
20 | Boise State Broncos | Up 1 |
21 | Memphis Tigers | Up 2 |
22 | Kansas State Wildcats | NR |
23 | Iowa Hawkeyes | Up 1 - overrated for close losses, their best win since September was a 20-0 win over a Northwestern team that has 1 win total |
24 | Navy Midshipmen | NR |
25 | Cincinnati Bearcats | Down 3 - Combination of BYE Week, other teams looking better, and Cincy keeping it close with bad teams |
