Ch-i-ef Ballot for 2021 Week 15 & Bowls

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Dec. 7, 2021, 4:31 a.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide Bama beating Georgia; a tale as old as time. Depending on how the playoff games go, it might just be a rematch for the Championship game.
2 Michigan Wolverines You've done it Michigan. You beat your arch nemesis in Ohio State, you won the Big10 Championship, and now you're in the playoffs facing a team, once thought to be unbeatable, now shaken and beaten down. The cards are in your hands.
3 Georgia Bulldogs How did Auburn of all teams look more competent than you facing Alabama? How are you going to have a QB controversy going into the playoffs? Well, the team you're facing doesn't have that strong of a passing game. It'll come down to the trenches.
4 Cincinnati Bearcats History has been made. Cincinnati is the first G5 team to make the playoffs. And to think people were protesting this saying they'd get blown out by Alabama. Y'all see what the nation's #1 defense just suffered through? Y'all see how every #1 vs #4 playoff game goes? Just enjoy the moment. 
5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish We almost had a coach-less playoff team. That would have been something.
6 Baylor Bears The goalline stand to win the game was incredible. What a season for the Bears. Now we get to see how well that defense plays against the hot offense of the Ole Miss Rebels.
7 Ohio State Buckeyes Well despite missing your first Big10 Championship in quite some time, Iowa's complete lack of offense made your team the better choice for the Rose Bowl, and it'll be against an up and coming Utah team.
8 Ole Miss Rebels In all of the coaching carousel that's happened, I'm surprised no school decided to just throw a bunch of money at Lane Kiffin's face.
9 Oklahoma State Cowboys Yikes. No Cowboys fan will ever be able to forget that. One yard short of the Big12 Championship and a decent shot at the Playoffs.
10 Utah Utes Utah fans wonder what could have been if they stuck with Cam Rising from the very start of the season.
11 Michigan State Spartans Kenneth Walker not getting so much as an invitation to New York is a disgrace. Although, this has been one of the most forgetful Heisman competitions in years.
12 BYU Cougars All of the hard work and winning this season just to face the 3rd place C-USA Team in the Independence Bowl...that's rough...
13 Pittsburgh Panthers That fake slide was cool and all, but the NCAA will absolutely ban it this offseason. Personally, I don't think you need to. You see how Pickett bent his knees? Surprised the guy didn't tear his ACL with the move he made. Also, who could have guessed Pitt would win the ACC? Congrats Panthers, you were quite possibly the most shocking conference winners this season!
14 Oklahoma Sooners Brent Venables, the now former Clemson DC will be the HC of the Sooners. Brighter days are ahead.
15 Oregon Ducks Miami? Really? Guess they do have the fat stacks to throw at you...assuming they remember to fire their head coach before hiring you.
16 Iowa Hawkeyes Your lack of anything resembling an offense has earned you a 1 way ticket straight to the Citrus Bowl. What a flat season despite the double digit wins.
17 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns How did Texas of all teams ruin Louisiana's nearly perfect season?
18 NC State Wolfpack There's choking and then there's whatever the hell UNC just did. My god. Also well done on your season Wolfpack.
19 Clemson Tigers If you told Iowa State fans that they'd face Clemson in the post season, they'd be ecstatic.
20 Wake Forest Demon Deacons The Wake Forest offense has been a fun one to watch this season. Maybe we'll get a good shoot-out in the Gator Bowl against Texas A&M.
21 Houston Cougars Let's be honest; Houston was a much more liked team when they lost to Cincinnati. They didn't spoil us of our cinderella story.
22 Arkansas Razorbacks What a great season for Arkansas. The fans have to be happy for all they accomplished and have to be excited for what's to come.
23 Kentucky Wildcats A surprisingly strong season for the Wildcats, not many people really noticed this team. They might get a bit more noticed when they will possibly murder Iowa in the Citrus Bowl.
24 UTSA Roadrunners Congrats on an amazing season Roadrunners! Meep Meep lives on in our hearts forever.
25 Utah State Aggies Utah State, off a disastrous previous season, finishes this year 10-3 with a MW Championship. What a turn around it's been for the Aggies.
