Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 19, 2020, 2:10 p.m.
Overall Rationale: O boy, almost time to add eight new teams to this.  Somehow.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Clemson Tigers | Just battered them, so badly I couldn't move Alabama to 1 despite the better opponent. |
2 | Alabama Crimson Tide | 1b thats for sure. |
3 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | I feel uncomfortable putting them here, we need the Big 10 back in so many ways. |
4 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Bye week success. |
5 | Iowa State Cyclones | See Ok. State description. |
6 | BYU Cougars | BYU is fun and good, not something I thought I'd ever say about a Mormon college. |
7 | Georgia Bulldogs | How's that offense looking Kirby? |
8 | Texas A&M Aggies | That was unspectacular. |
9 | Florida Gators | I still think they should be above A&M on team quality but here we are. |
10 | Cincinnati Bearcats | Another team who benefited more from not playing. |
11 | Virginia Tech Hokies | Yes they lost to UNC which makes it tougher to justify putting them above but I looked at them, Miami, and UNC for this spot and based on schedule just felt like they should be here. |
12 | Miami Hurricanes | Probably over corrected a bit last week with the drastic drop. |
13 | North Carolina Tar Heels | Its FSU, you really can't be doing these things. |
14 | Kansas State Wildcats | Chanticleers are coming for you... |
15 | Coastal Carolina Chanticleers | This makes me too happy, also they are just a fun team to watch, catch a game if you can. |
16 | SMU Mustangs | They are holding this by the skin of their teeth, I imagine they drop into the low 20's next week. |
17 | Liberty Flames | I knew Syracuse wasn't good but making me rise Liberty in rank bad?? |
18 | West Virginia Mountaineers | They are seriously solid, like the edge of top 25 material in the fact they will win a good amount of games but not really challenge any truly good team. |
19 | NC State Wolfpack | Have really turned things around since the VT thumping. |
20 | Marshall Thundering Herd | Just very solid team this year, great defensive presence.  I am very ready for a good Marshall though. |
21 | Army West Point | They have looked unconvincing but they are also winning and the bottom of the poll is kinda getting scraped up for one more week. |
22 | Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns | I hate that they are still ranked but the Iowa State win is still good so that calms me a bit. |
23 | Houston Cougars | Shouldn't be ranked, I hate that we don't have more teams to pick from. |
24 | UAB Blazers | Very UAB, very good and solid but not spectacular. |
25 | Boston College Eagles | It could have been Pitt?? IDK these last few spots are bad and I told you they would be. |
