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. |
