fourpinz8 Ballot for 2021 Week 5
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 26, 2021, 1:49 p.m.
Overall Rationale: My poll is mostly in line with the AP Poll, minus Clemson at 25, as I put Texas there. Poll inertia may be present in mine. 
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
They keep on dominating |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 3 |
Oregon Ducks

|
| 6 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
|
| 7 |
Arkansas Razorbacks
|
|
| 8 |

The Big 12 is very much wide open. OU's offense isn't great and could come to haunt them against Texas, Oklahoma State and Iowa State.  |
| 9 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 10 |
Florida Gators
|
|
| 11 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|

Impressive win over ISU. Offense sputtered late but the defense gave Brock Purdy problems |
| 22 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
|
| 23 |
Auburn Tigers
|
|
| 24 |
Boston College Eagles
|
|
| 25 |
Texas Longhorns

Clemson at 25 in the AP poll is ridiculous as they 2 losses in September with their offense struggling. Yes our loss to Arkansas was bad, but it's looking less and less bad ("quality loss"). We each played one P5 opponent and we dominated TTU where as they struggled vs GT and NCST, and we also beat handily a ULL team that won 10 games and is experienced.  |
