coogs35 Ballot for 2021 Week 6
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 4, 2021, 7:05 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Explanations for the Top 10 and then Ohio State as I feel it may be controversial. 
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Dominated an explosive offense. Georgia is essentially 1A, but I can't put them definitively ahead of Alabama yet.  |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Great showing against Arkansas. 1b with Bama. Their defense is by far the best in CFB.  |
| 3 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Their defense is amazing, but the offense leaves some to be desired. Their game against PSU will be big for the B1G. |
| 4 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Their big wins have lost some luster as Auburn almost fell to GSU and Wisconsin is 1-3. They are still 5-0, but I do not know if they can hang with Iowa.  |
| 5 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
They did what they were supposed to against a good, but not great ND team. If ND ends up winning 9-10 games Cincinnati could sneak into the playoff.  |
| 6 |
BYU Cougars
|
Their win over ASU is looking even more impressive now. 1 of 4 teams to never trail this season (Bama, Georgia, Michigan) |
| 7 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
5-0 and they have some decent wins. Their defense has been extremely impressive.  |
| 8 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Playing great football right now, big win over Wisconsin even if they are only 1-3.  |
| 9 |
Michigan State Spartans
|
Walker is one of, if not THE best RB in football. Great start to their season.  |
| 10 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
There is something to be said about continually winning close games. 5-0 speaks for itself, even if 4 of them were by single digits.  |
| 11 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
|
| 12 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
|
| 13 |
Arkansas Razorbacks
|
|
| 14 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 15 |
Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
|
|
| 16 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 17 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
They don't have the resume to put them over anyone else at this point. Lost to Oregon at home, and Oregon just lost to Stanford and struggled against Fresno. Only wins against a bad Minnesota, bad Tulsa, bad Akron, and an OK Rutgers team. The teams ahead of them have done more to this point.  |
| 18 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
|
| 19 |
Arizona State Sun Devils
|
|
| 20 |
SMU Mustangs
|
|
| 21 |

|

Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 23 |
San Diego State Aztecs
|
|
| 24 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish

| 25 |
Auburn Tigers
