GenialGiant Ballot for 2019 Week 14

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 25, 2019, 10:55 p.m.

Overall Rationale: "None"? How insulting. Of course I have rationale! I just never said it was good rationale. First N Out - Iowa State, Navy

Rank Team Reason
1 LSU Tigers LSU's hold on the top spot is slipping.
2 Ohio State Buckeyes Ohio State took down a very good Penn State and gets rewarded by facing two more good teams in a row.
3 Clemson Tigers Clemson's largely sailed through their schedule and will likely face their steepest challenge when they play the winner of UVA-VT.
4 Alabama Crimson Tide Alabama at 4th seems high, but they've looked better than pretty much all the other one-loss teams.
5 Georgia Bulldogs Georgia's loss to South Carolina continues to dog them.
6 Utah Utes The Utes probably have the clearest shot at the playoff of all the teams currently on the outside.
7 Oklahoma Sooners The Sooners now have two more opportunities to move up in the rankings.
8 Minnesota Golden Gophers The Golden Gophers will look to fend of the rival Badgers and punch their ticket to Indianapolis.
9 Penn State Nittany Lions A loss to a great Ohio State moves Penn State down in my rankings, though I think they're the best two-loss team in the country.
10 Florida Gators The Gators are still sort of floating around in this part of my rankings and move more as a result of other teams' performances than their own.
11 Baylor Bears The Bears sit outside my top 10, but they could easily jump back into the picture.
12 Wisconsin Badgers The Badgers still have a shot at winning the B1G, which would itself be big.
13 Memphis Tigers I'm very high on the Tigers and think they're the best team coming out of the G5 this year.
14 Michigan Wolverines Michigan seems to have somehow shifted the narrative in such a way that people downplay their three-score loss to Wisconsin.
15 Oregon Ducks Don't lose to unranked teams, kids.
16 Cincinnati Bearcats I think the Bearcats are the most capable of challenging Memphis for G5 supremacy and they sit just outside my top 15.
17 Iowa Hawkeyes The Hawkeyes have played some very good teams, and even beat one of them, though a lot of folks seem to overlook them.
18 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Navy winning doesn't suddenly make Notre Dame less mediocre.
19 Auburn Tigers Has everyone forgotten that Auburn has three losses??
20 Appalachian State Mountaineers I'm pretty high on the Mountaineers despite their rough loss.
21 Boise State Broncos The Broncos have had a pretty good season and look capable of moving into my top 20, or maybe even top 15.
22 Virginia Tech Hokies At 8-3, the Hokies have really turned their season around and will look to win the right to get curb-stomped by Clemson in Charlotte.
23 Virginia Cavaliers The Cavaliers can win the Coastal; all they have to do is beat the team they haven't beaten in 92 years (or however long it's been).
24 Oklahoma State Cowboys I have to submit 25 teams, so here you go.
25 North Dakota State Bison #1 in the FCS, #25 in my ballot.
