Ch-i-ef Ballot for 2021 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 7, 2021, 3:02 p.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide Same ol' Bama. Reload year and year again. Bryce Young most likely on top of the Heisman odds.
2 Georgia Bulldogs I look at Georgia defense and I think 'yes'. I look at Georgia offense and I think 'no'.
3 Oklahoma Sooners Michael Pratt has overtaken Spencer Rattler for Heisman odds. Also where did OU's defense go?
4 Ohio State Buckeyes Who needs a consistent QB or a secondary or any sort of run defense when your WR's go zoom?
5 Texas A&M Aggies Didn't feel like a 31 point win, but the team is getting their feet wet and will look better throughout the year.
6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish A win is a win! Now they're most challenging upcoming opponent will be...Cincinnati? 
7 Cincinnati Bearcats A great showing from Desmond Ridder. With Indiana, Notre Dame, and UCF on their schedule, who knows how far they go if they get it all taken care of...ah who am I kidding; they'll probably never get higher than #5 because CFB committee logic.
8 Iowa Hawkeyes If they take care of Iowa State, and Penn State and Wisconsin look as sloppy as they did, how far will the Hawkeyes get...
9 Iowa State Cyclones Cyclones football and having a subpar showing against a week 1 opponent; a tradition like no other. Enjoy El Assico next week!
10 Penn State Nittany Lions Nittany Lion fans hoping Bo Nix doesn't play as well as he did this week for the Auburn game in 2 weeks.
11 Clemson Tigers I couldn't help myself with this ranking. Clemson looks like a shell of the team they once were, yet they probably wont lose another game with how the conference looks. Maybe the unpredictable Pitt or maybe Florida State gives them trouble? 
12 USC Trojans Pac12 South is the only semi-competent part of the Pac12. Oh yeah, wasn't Kedon Slovis supposed to be a dark horse Heisman favorite? Wonder how long it'll take until people remember? Maybe that Notre Dame game?
13 Oregon Ducks Oregon didn't get the memo that the Pac12 North is tanking to fire Larry Scott....wait he's already gone?....well then....what are they even doing?!
14 Texas Longhorns TEXAS IS BACK to being over-ranked.
15 Utah Utes Utah looks good again and I know fans are already circling the USC game. 
16 Virginia Tech Hokies Week 1 overreactions baby! Take them while they're hot!
17 Florida Gators The forward pass is overrated anyways; the run game all day baby!...Oh you have Bama in 2 weeks...maybe reconsider the passing game?
18 Ole Miss Rebels Offense looked good again and your defense actually looked like an actual defense for at least half the game!
19 Miami Hurricanes Hope you enjoyed your week 1 beatdown by Bama, now you can officially start your season!
20 North Carolina Tar Heels Sam Howell's Heisman odds dropped harder than this team's rank and expectations.
21 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers They'll probably beat Kansas and their only other semi-interesting opponent is App State. Could very well go undefeated.
22 UCLA Bruins Are the Sissy Blue Shirts back? Were the Tigers overrated? Will I ever be able to understand Ed Orgeron? Find out next time!
23 Maryland Terrapins MARYLAND IS THE MOST DANGEROUS FOOTBALL TEAM in the month of September. And honestly, they'll probably go 4-0 until they hit Iowa on October 1st. Oof, if only it was a day earlier.
24 Liberty Flames Liberty Biberty might have interesting games against Syracuse and/or UAB, but their main test comes November 6th against Ole Miss...
25 Wisconsin Badgers I was going to put Indiana here, but their RB who looked like a superstar now has a season ending injury. Anyways, make sure to take care of your local Badger fan and make sure they don't watch any Notre Dame games so they can still have faith in Graham Mertz.
