DarkLegend64 Ballot for 2020 Week θ´
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 1, 2020, 10:22 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Continuing with my tier system. Teams that haven't played yet will be the lowest ranked team in their tier. There was a huge shake up in my rankings after SMU compared to last week. Oklahoma State's loss to Texas boosted not only Texas back into the rankings, but other 2 loss Big XII teams that had wins over Texas (or wins over teams that beat Texas back into the rankings). The exception being Kansas State who had a blow out loss to West Virginia.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
S Tier (There were some things that concerned me watching the PSU game but right now I feel comfortable in putting OSU back at #1 where I had them in my preseason ranking since there have been deficiencies with the other S Tier teams too.) |
