T-Thugs Ballot for 2020 Week 十

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 9, 2020, 10:38 a.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide Tough decision between Alabama and Notre Dame, but I'm going with Alabama as #1 due to them having two quality wins with Georgia and Texas A&M. 
2 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Notre Dame improved to 7-0 and got the best win of the season so far knocking off Clemson. 
3 Cincinnati Bearcats Bearcats have looked dominant this season. They have wins over SMU (7-1) and Army (6-1). They also blew out Memphis (4-2)
4 BYU Cougars BYU moved to 8-0 after crushing Boise. Their schedule is a bit weak but the Boise win will likely prove to be a solid victory. Might slip a bit in my poll as other teams in Big Ten and Pac get quality wins. 
5 Clemson Tigers Clemson drops to 5th in my poll after their loss to Notre Dame. They still have a great victory over Miami (6-1). likely to see ND in a rematch in the ACC championship if they dont slip up before then. 
6 Texas A&M Aggies Texas A&M's win over Florida looks even more impressive this week. They got blown out by Alabama in their other big game. They've got a decent resume and should likely finish the season with 1 loss barring any surprises. 
7 Florida Gators Florida has a loss to Texas A&M, but finally put a nice W on the board with their impressive dominating victory over Georgia. 
8 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Coastal Carolina is going to keep slipping in my poll as other teams that started late start stacking up quality wins. They're 8-0 with a good win over Louisiana (6-1, defeated Iowa State on the road) 
9 Ohio State Buckeyes Buckeyes will keep moving up. Their schedule hasn't really been anything yet though. Wins over Penn State (0-3), Nebraska (0-3) and Rutgers (1-2). I have them this low due solely to their late start and lack of quality wins. They play IU in 2 weeks and that should bump them up above the 1 loss teams. 
10 Northwestern Wildcats Northwestern probably has the best win among the undefeated Big Ten teams over 2-1 Maryland, but they have a common opponent with Ohio State in Nebraska and Ohio State absolutely trucked them, so I'm putting the buckeyes on top of my undefeated big ten list. 
11 Indiana Hoosiers Hoosiers remained in the unbeaten group this weekend with a nice victory over Michigan. Nobody would have predicted Indiana could start 3-0 in a season that saw early games against Penn State and Michigan. Unfortunately those teams haven't really shown up either and their best wins are 1-2 Rutgers and 1-2 michigan. Penn State is 0-3. 
12 Liberty Flames Liberty is 7-0. Best win is over Virginia Tech (4-3). 
13 Marshall Thundering Herd marshall is 6-0. Best win is over Appalachian State (5-1) 
14 Purdue Boilermakers Boilers didn't play this week because Wisconsin got covid. They remain 2-0 with wins over Iowa and Illinois. Iowa finally looked like a competent team this week in a beatdown of Michigan State. 
15 Oklahoma State Cowboys Oklahoma State is 5-1. Best wins are over Iowa State (5-2) and Kansas State. (4-3). Lost to Texas. 
16 Miami Hurricanes Miami is 6-1. Only loss is to Clemson. Best win is over NC State (4-3).
17 Oregon Ducks Oregon started off the year with an impressive drubbing of Stanford. 
18 Wisconsin Badgers Wisconsin has only played the one game against 0-3 Illinois but is 1-0. 
19 San José State Spartans San Jose state is 3-0 and beat previously undefeated San Diego State. Tough to rank Mountain west teams that started late. We'll see if they hang around.├é┬á
20 USC Trojans USC started off the season with a win over Arizona State. got a bit lucky on a fortunate pass bounce in the end zone, but that counts. 
21 Washington State Cougars Washington State started off the season 1-0 with a win over Oregon State. 
22 Colorado Buffaloes CU started the season 1-0 with a win over UCLA. 
23 Nevada Wolf Pack 3-0 but lacking impressive wins. will move them up if they keep winning. 
24 Georgia Bulldogs Currently I have Georgia as my top 2 loss team. Losses to Alabama and Florida aren't bad. Best win is over Auburn (4-2). They're probably better than the 23rd team, but I'm having a tricky Time doing comparisons with teams that just started their seasons. 
25 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns I was going to rank Iowa State 25th but then realized that would be lame as they are 5-2 and lost to Louisiana who only has 1 loss. Best win is over Iowa State.
