JoshDaws Ballot for 2021 Week 12
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 15, 2021, 9:49 p.m.
Overall Rationale: (Please don't kick me out. My overall affect on the poll is negligible, as I probably won't even be in the top 20 most unusual polls)
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|

Oregon Ducks

As I got in trouble last week for jokingly putting Miami at number 1, I had to apologize sirgippy, and agree to not treat my cursed #1 spot as a joke. I take this poll very seriously, at the very least as seriously as the playoff committee. I can't get in trouble for ranking a team 1st in my poll that's ranked 3rd. I mean who has Georgia really beat? And does Cincy have that quality loss to a 2-6 Stanford, I don't think so. You truly deserve to be here Oregon.Anyway for those who missed it I discovered a couple of weeks ago that my 1st place spot is cursed. But curses aren't real, so I'm 100% sincere in saying the ducks are the best in the nation. After all if saying they're the 3rd best team is allowed, what's a couple of spots among friends?Anyway, the history:Weak 1, as a homer joke because preseason polls are meaningless, I put FSU number 1. They lost. Because of the weird scheduling I missed week 2.Week 3, in another blatant attempt at homer-ism I said "let's get stupid" and put UCF at number 1. They lost. Week 4? I missedWeek 5? Notre Dame. If they barely beat out FSU and go on to win it all, maybe we aren't so bad. They lost. Week 6. Let's stop messing around and admit Bama is the best team. Let's take this seriously... They lost. I lost track of a couple weeks, and almost got booted from the poll. So last minute submitted a pretty tame poll, with a fun little caveat, I'd put my old roommate's alma mater (and fellow ACC team) Wake at #1. They lost. Then, as a blatant joke I put Miami at #1 to nudge the rivalry gods in my favor. It showed disrespect in the poll process and I apologized. They lost.So, in all sincerity, if it is indeed reasonable to say Oregon deserves to be 3rd, then it can't be a joke to have them at 1st. Which they are. Oregon's gonna go on the road this weekend, handle their business, and truly show how much the Pac-12 respects its elite teams. |

Good God your offense has grown since week 1. Just an all around great team, and once you start playing your real competition in the SECCG and playoffs we'll see where you stand with some of the all time greatest teams. |
