LeWoofle Ballot for 2021 Week 11
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 8, 2021, 9:42 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 larger movement.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Still man-handling teams like IMG vs Bishop Sycamore. |
| 2 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
MSU and Cincy both dropped while OU was on a bye. OU isnt the second best team in the country, but neither is Cincy, Bama, Oregon, or Ohio State. |
| 3 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
Still undefeated, but this most recent win did in fact look bad. Barely above Oregon and Ohio State. If MoV doesnt improve against poor teams soon, can potentially drop out of the top 4. |
| 4 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Oregon and Ohio State are interchangeable for the 4 spot. Oregon smothered Washington in a game that wasnt close after the first half, while OSU got a respectable win against an interesting Nebraska team. |
| 5 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Oregon and Ohio State are interchangeable for the 4 spot. Oregon smothered Washington in a game that wasnt close after the first half, while OSU got a respectable win against an interesting Nebraska team. |
| 6 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Last week was almost a tossup between Oregon, Ohio State, and Bama. This week though, other than Cincy, Bama's win was the worst against inferior competition. A&M handling Auburn makes Bama's loss look slightly less bad. Solidly above the 7th ranked team, but not enough to push for the top 5. |
| 7 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
4 game win streak. I no longer discount this team, theyre quite capable after all. |
| 8 |
Michigan State Spartans
|
Ooof. Spoilermakers strike again. |
| 9 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
This defense is quite good. 12-1 Ok St is possible. interchangeable with A&M for the 9 spot. |
| 10 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Solid 4 win streak in which Calzone played well and the defense suffocated opponents. Interchangeable with Ok St for the 9 spot. |
| 11 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 12 |
BYU Cougars
|

| 25 |

Plenty of teams could be ranked 25. Give the nod to Utah after winning 52-7. |
