The Mixlr Six - Edition #1

Three fascinating weeks of the College Football season has already gone by (I know, hard to believe, right?). We've seen Heisman hopeful Khalil Tate and Arizona look just awful. We've seen the Big Ten be mostly disappointing outside of Ohio State. We've seen LSU take down two top teams, both away from home. And we've seen Alabama look light years better than any of their past National Title winning teams because of one man, Tua Tagovailoa. So with three weeks gone, we have a fairly good outlook of the best teams. So, with that, we're bringing back The Mixlr Six that we had a year ago. A panel of six people selecting their top six teams and forming our own little Playoff Committee. We're asking all of our College Football talking heads on Mixlr, Carter Floyd, Seth Eaves, Pierre Moss, Dan Vasta, Calvin Vandergrift & Matthew Owens, to give us their six teams. So let's see what The Mixlr Six rankings look like for the first time this season.

Now, how did we come up with these rankings? Well obviously, it's an imperfect science, but then again, isn't everything in College Football rankings? We took the six pollsters' rankings of teams and then averaged them out to see who had the best average ranking. If a tiebreaker was needed, then that was settled by which team had more votes. So how did each of our pollsters rank the teams? 

Carter Floyd

1. Alabama

2. Georgia

3. Ohio State

4. Clemson

5. Oklahoma

6. LSU

Seth Eaves

1. Alabama

2. Georgia

3. Clemson

4. Oklahoma

5. Ohio State

6. LSU

Q: What makes you think Georgia is ahead of Clemson at this point? 

A: "Better, more well rounded football team" 

Pierre Moss

1. Alabama

2. Clemson

3. Georgia

4. LSU

5. Ohio State

6. Oklahoma

Q: Why do you feel LSU deserves a top-four spot? 

A: "I'm looking at the wins over Miami and Auburn. Both top-10 wins at the time they played those teams. That defense is pretty good too. Joe Burrow looks like the answer at QB so far." 

Dan Vasta

1. Alabama

2. Georgia

3. Clemson

4. LSU

5. Ohio State

6. Oklahoma

Calvin Vandergrift

1. Alabama

2. Clemson

3. Georgia

4. Oklahoma

5. Ohio State

6. Stanford

Q: Why do have Stanford in your top-six? 

A: "I really like that defense. LSU has some big wins already, so it's really hard for me not to put them ahead. However, I think the dominant wins over USC and San Diego State should say something." 

Matthew Owens

1. Alabama

2. Georgia

3. Clemson

4. Oklahoma
