• Ballot
• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Ohio State Buckeyes	Ignore my flair, my computer likes OSU, OSU was 2 in my preseason, and beating an FBS team on the road puts them above Georgia, for whom a home win against an FCS won't move the needle at all.
2	Georgia Bulldogs
3	Michigan Wolverines
4	Alabama Crimson Tide
5	Florida State Seminoles
6	Texas Longhorns
7	USC Trojans
8	Washington Huskies	New in the Top 10
9	Penn State Nittany Lions
10	Tennessee Volunteers
11	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
12	Utah Utes
13	Oklahoma Sooners
14	Oregon Ducks
15	Tulane Green Wave
16	Wisconsin Badgers
17	Minnesota Golden Gophers	I expect this to be the ranking with the highest delta from the final, my numbers really like them
18	North Carolina Tar Heels
19	Oregon State Beavers
20	LSU Tigers
21	UCLA Bruins
22	Clemson Tigers	From 6 down to 22, yes I also think that Duke should be above them
23	Iowa Hawkeyes
24	Duke Blue Devils	Like I said on Clemson, I'd like for Duke to be above Clemson but its a one game sample size. Next week they almost certainly will as the preseason weighting gets removed even more.
25	Texas A&M Aggies
