Zloggt Ballot for 2022 Preseason
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Aug. 23, 2022, 12:18 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Not sure - at this point of the season, I look at both the AP/Coaches, and ultimately, my own personal gut feeling. I know that preseason Top 25 rankings don't hold much weight, but I still feel like how I rank these teams will seem "right" in a way.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
No surprise here |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Feel like Georgia is slightly in a better spot - but only slightly |
| 4 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Not sure if #4 high - but hey, it'll make for a killer matchup between Irish and Buckeye! |
| 5 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 6 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Am I bearish on Clemson? A bit - I know they're good, but are they THAT good? |
| 7 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
In all seriousness, I kinda feel bad for the Aggies. They got the talent AND coaching to be good or even great, yet they are always in a position where there is little room for error...if at all... |
| 8 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 9 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 10 |
Baylor Bears
|
|
| 11 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
The top trio of the Big 12 are arguably interchangeable with each other tbh |
| 12 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 13 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
The Wolfpack are an enigma - but it'll still be cool to see them succeed! |
| 14 |
Michigan State Spartans
|
|
| 15 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
|
| 16 |
USC Trojans
|
It'll take time for Riley to get this thing going - I think #16 is perfect |
| 17 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
|
| 18 |
Arkansas Razorbacks
|
Hogs got a lot looking up for them - perhaps they are much lower than they should be? |
| 19 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
I'm not going to fall for ranking Miami highly again - temper expectations! |
| 20 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
The whole Hartman thing may have dampened expectations a bit, but not to worry - Wake can still be Great! |
| 21 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
|
| 22 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
Are the Bearcats doomed to fall into irrelevancy this time around? I hope not, but I suppose we will see... |
| 23 |
BYU Cougars
|
Coogs can surprise this year, I think - so why not give them a bit of a chance? |
| 24 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 25 |
Houston Cougars
|
