Ch-i-ef Ballot for 2021 Week 12

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 16, 2021, 12:24 a.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs Thank you Georgia for being the only highly ranked team that makes sense.
2 Cincinnati Bearcats Ok so do you actually WANT to go to the playoffs or...?
3 Alabama Crimson Tide Beating up weak opponents will hide the offensive flaws your team has had. A better Arkansas and a crumbling Auburn won't really re-expose it though. We'll see how you fare once the regular season is up.
4 Oregon Ducks Wazzu was surprisingly not a trap game for you. What, you trying to look good for the playoffs or something?
5 Ohio State Buckeyes Big game against Michigan State this coming weekend with Michigan after. Your offense is hitting all the right notes, but the defense leaves a lot to be desired, and will no doubt be selling out to stop Heisman hopeful RB Kenneth Walker. MSU will have to rely a bit more on attacking your secondary to win, and that hasn't been their strong suit this season.
6 Michigan State Spartans Uhh read above.
7 Michigan Wolverines A semi-easy opponent in Maryland this week, while with a win, one of your hated rivals will no doubt fall below you with a loss. Should be a good week for you, until you have to face Ohio State next week. Let's see if THIS is the year.
8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish The Fighting Irish have done pretty well the past few weeks. Consistent offense and defense doing what they need to do to win. Nothing on the schedule left to make a push at the playoffs, and your track record won't hold up either. It'll most likely be a NY6 Bowl for you. Nothing to despise!
9 Oklahoma State Cowboys Texas Tech will always put up points, but your defense should be able to hold steady. The big game is on the horizon though, since beating OU will be a one way visit to the Big12 Championship Game.
10 Ole Miss Rebels A 'bye' week and then an undoubtedly crazy Egg Bowl game coming up.
11 Baylor Bears The Baylor Defense has had OU's number these past few years. This year though, the run game especially was able to push the Bears to victory + an 'in-your-face' field goal after 10 minutes of waiting around to end it.
12 Wake Forest Demon Deacons A 'big' game coming up against Clemson. The Tigers have been the kryptonite of the conference for years, but now, it's a true test of your team. Can your explosive offense handle the Clemson defense? Will you let your awful defense make the 2021 Clemson offense look competent again?
13 Oklahoma Sooners Back to your QB controversy! Not as fun as last time though...At least Texas lost to Kansas?...You and Texas might wanna reconsider this whole SEC thing...
14 BYU Cougars BYU is STILL wondering if they're gonna get their Pac12 Championship invites soon...have I made this joke too many times yet?
15 UTSA Roadrunners Frank Gore Jr. plays at Southern Miss? He also was the 'best' QB for them that game? Fascinating. Also MEEP MEEP.
16 Wisconsin Badgers Your defense has really gone unnoticed: Holding the past 6 opponents to 14 points and under. Offense is making progress as the season goes along. 
17 Iowa Hawkeyes A should-be easy game against Illinois and then perhaps a tricky one against Nebraska. Cleaning up both games would result in a 10-2 season. A lot of fans think of the 'what could have been' scenario, but it was still a good season for you.
18 Houston Cougars Houston vs Cinci in the AAC Championship. Should be a good one!
19 Arkansas Razorbacks While you're probably going to get destroyed by Bama, you should be able to win against Missouri. A great season filled with fun games and upsets. The Arkansas program has really come back to life under Sam Pittman. Yessir!
20 Texas A&M Aggies At least you aren't Texas or Florida!
21 Pittsburgh Panthers Most Pitt fans are used to their team choking in any close game. This season has been quite the nice surprise for the Panthers.
22 San Diego State Aztecs Ok they're 9-1, that's cool and all, BUT HAVE YOU SEEN MATT ARAIZA??? DUDE IS A PUNTING GOD!!
23 Utah Utes Apparently, the Utes have a higher chance of making the Rose Bowl if they lose to Oregon this week compared to beating them and ruining their playoff chances...fascinating...I'm putting my money on Utah to win because they would absolutely beat Oregon with circumstances like these.
24 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Nice showing against Troy with a strong run game. I see a matchup against App State for the Fun Belt Championship!
25 Clemson Tigers Oh, Clemson is trying to be relevant again? They can take advantage of Wake Forest's weak defense while also having a strong defense to counter their explosive offense? That's nice, but you let UConn score a punt TD on the opening play of the game, and that's all that matters.
