AGB Poll - 10/16/18

Predictably Alabama remains atop the poll this week. While the order varies from ballot to ballot, the teams in the Top 5 are mostly consensus with only one ballot excluding LSU in favor of UCF. There are 4 teams making an appearance this week who were not in the poll last week. The consensus in the Top 5 fades toward the bottom of the poll. The variety at the bottom of ballots led to a three way tie for 10. With no reasonable tie breaker, the tie stands and we wait to see how these teams do in coming weeks.
