TommyTwoTaps Ballot for 2022 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 5, 2022, 11:24 p.m.

Overall Rationale: It's tough for me to punish teams that lose to ranked teams too harshly early on, given the rather easier schedules teams have at this point. Fresno State fell out due to the competition faced. 26-30 would be: Fresno, BYU, Texas, Tennessee, Wake

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs They may be behind Vanderbilt in the SEC East standings, but they are the defending national champs and will remain #1 unless proven otherwise, whether it be due to poor performances or a loss.
2 Alabama Crimson Tide
3 Ohio State Buckeyes
4 Texas A&M Aggies
5 Clemson Tigers
6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Played one of the clear top-3 teams in the country very tough and led at halftime, limiting a high scoring offense to 21 points. I find it hard to drop them from the top 6 due to the quality of their performance vs. the quality of opponent of the teams below.
7 Michigan Wolverines
8 Oklahoma Sooners
9 Baylor Bears
10 Michigan State Spartans
11 USC Trojans
12 Oklahoma State Cowboys They fall due to the incredibly poor defensive performance.
13 NC State Wolfpack
14 Wisconsin Badgers
15 Miami Hurricanes
16 Arkansas Razorbacks
17 Pittsburgh Panthers
18 Florida Gators
19 Utah Utes A big drop, but I couldn't put Florida that high up after being previously unranked. This team could still be a top10 caliber, but time will tell.
20 Kentucky Wildcats
21 Penn State Nittany Lions
22 Ole Miss Rebels
23 Houston Cougars
24 Cincinnati Bearcats Losing to a ranked team by one possession won't get you dropped. With no Houston on the schedule, this team could end up 11-1.
25 Oregon Ducks Really poor loss, albeit against my #1 team in the country. I wasn't confident with having them at 13 last week, but did it anyway. They stay ranked for the same reason as Cincy.
