shadowwingnut Ballot for 2022 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 6, 2022, 5:16 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Resume + Eye Test. Power ranking matters more early in season

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs Best performance of the week in week 1. And it's week 1 so that's enough.
2 Ohio State Buckeyes Won in a way they've failed to recently. The passing game will be fine.
3 Alabama Crimson Tide The machine hums on.
4 Oklahoma Sooners Best of a bad lot for number 4.
5 Michigan Wolverines Learning nothing yet.
6 Florida Gators Beating Utah is one of best wins of the weekend.
7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish We shouldn't be dropping teams far for losing road games to top 3 teams.
8 Utah Utes I came away more impressed with Florida than worried about Utah
9 Clemson Tigers The offense has returned to Kelly Bryant levels. That's an improvement over last year but not enough to rank them 4thborcsonething.
10 Arkansas Razorbacks Big win for the resume.
11 Pittsburgh Panthers If Narduzzi doesn't handcuff his offense there's potential for another huge season here
12 USC Trojans Learned nothing...ho hum
13 Florida State Seminoles 2-0 with a win over an LSU team that is more talented? Rank highly until results say other wise
14 Tennessee Volunteers Blew up a bad MAC opponent the way a team ranked here should.
15 Texas A&M Aggies I'm worried about the offense. Defense is going to be exceptional.
16 Michigan State Spartans Beat this year's Friday Night Directional Michigan opponent by the same margin as always
17 Houston Cougars Should have lost. Props to Clayton Tune.
18 Kentucky Wildcats Solid start especially from Will Levis. Good but if they beat Florida this week are about to be overrated for months
19 UCLA Bruins Looked very good after a few early defensive jitters
20 Kansas State Wildcats Played by far the best of any team playing a Dakota school. Good enough.
21 Baylor Bears Ho hum win.
22 BYU Cougars Ditto
23 Penn State Nittany Lions I don't know what to think.
24 Oklahoma State Cowboys I still hate Spencer Sanders as qb. If he has to win shootouts I don't trust him.
25 Syracuse Orange Props for humiliating Louisville.
