ACCBiggz Ballot for 2019 Week 12
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 11, 2019, 1:22 p.m.
Overall Rationale: NoneI 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
|
Undeniable. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 3 |
Clemson Tigers
|
|
| 4 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 5 |
Minnesota Golden Gophers
|
A rather large late-season jump, and I did struggle with putting them over UGA given the OOC schedule. However, the performance against Penn State and being undefeated should garner them a big rise. They'll confirm their position against Iowa and Wisconsin or drop. No big deal, they control their destiny. |
| 6 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 7 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
A tumble for the Tide, and they will need help to get back to the Top 4. Their schedule this season hasn't provided them opportunities to overcome this loss. |
| 8 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 9 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 10 |
Baylor Bears
|
|
| 11 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
OU drops to 11 and that could be a little suspect to some, but both Baylor and Minnesota rise ahead of them pushing them down. The Sooners got all the results they needed on Saturday to bolster their potential CFP claim if they win out.They're in the best position they could have hoped for following the K-State loss. |
