LeWoofle Ballot for 2021 Week 8

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 18, 2021, 8:33 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Human poll relying mostly on Resume, SoS, and MoV. Eye-test used sparingly, and only in situations with similar bodies of work for the season. I try to actively negate poll inertia and allow strong movements up and down if the resume doesnt support your placements after the win or loss, with 2 results in a row resulting in much larger movement, etc.

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs
2 Cincinnati Bearcats
3 Oklahoma Sooners But Jesus Lincoln Riley beheld them, and said unto them, With Spencer Rattler this is impossible; but with Caleb Williams all things are possible.-The book of OU, chapter 19 verse 26
4 Michigan Wolverines Michigan top 4 is hard, but i think its currently the right choice. Theyve beat the crap out of MOST of the teams they were supposed to beat the crap out of, and havent dropped a game. The Eye-test would have them lower, but their resume and MoV gets them the spot over OSU and Bama.
5 Ohio State Buckeyes Bama and OSU both neck and neck for the 5 spot. Both have excellent MoV, with Bama having the better win with Ole Miss, but OSU having the better loss with Oregon. These two could be interchangeable.
6 Alabama Crimson Tide Bama and OSU both neck and neck for the 5 spot. Both have excellent MoV, with Bama having the better win with Ole Miss, but OSU having the better loss with Oregon. These two could be interchangeable.
7 Michigan State Spartans MSU and Oklahoma State are neck and neck. MSU gets the edge for having played 1 more game, but really theyre both interchangeable for the number 7 spot.
8 Oklahoma State Cowboys MSU and Oklahoma State are neck and neck. MSU gets the edge for having played 1 more game, but really theyre both interchangeable for the number 7 spot.
9 Penn State Nittany Lions
10 Oregon Ducks 4 of the games have been decided by 1 score. until the Ducks start winning by more points, theyre barely in the top 10.
11 Ole Miss Rebels
12 Iowa Hawkeyes
13 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Where do these guys belong? MoV is high, SoS is low, probably permanently stuck in the 13-15 range.
14 Kentucky Wildcats
15 Baylor Bears Realistically, i should have had baylor ranked higher last week. Big move up mainly to address that, and a solid win streak with only loss to my 8th ranked team. 
16 Wake Forest Demon Deacons
17 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
18 NC State Wolfpack
19 SMU Mustangs
20 Pittsburgh Panthers Unfortunately ive been sleeping on Pitt. the WMU loss is looking less bad, and i should have had them in contention for ranking last week.
21 Texas A&M Aggies
22 San Diego State Aztecs
23 Auburn Tigers
24 Purdue Boilermakers
25 Utah Utes I struggled between ranking Utah or UTSA here this week. Im not sure i made the right choice.
