Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 11, 2019, 10:35 a.m.

Overall Rationale: These are the teams I consider to be the best. I would expect teams to beat the teams ranked below them on a neutral field more often than not. This is not a resume ranking.

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Ohio State Buckeyes
2	Clemson Tigers
3	LSU Tigers
4	Alabama Crimson Tide
5	Georgia Bulldogs
6	Oklahoma Sooners
7	Oregon Ducks
8	Penn State Nittany Lions
9	Wisconsin Badgers
10	Auburn Tigers
11	Florida Gators
12	Utah Utes
13	Michigan Wolverines
14	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
15	Baylor Bears
16	Iowa Hawkeyes
17	Minnesota Golden Gophers	Good win for Minnesota against Penn State. Unfortunately for them, I'm not yet convinced they are better than the teams I have ranked above them. They got outgained by PSU and got pretty lucky with turnovers. They are three point dogs to Iowa, and I think they will lose that one and ultimately fall to Wisconsin to lose the Big Ten West.
18	Texas A&M Aggies
19	Iowa State Cyclones
20	Texas Longhorns
21	Washington Huskies
22	Cincinnati Bearcats
23	Memphis Tigers
24	USC Trojans
25	Oklahoma State Cowboys
