ikindalikelemons Ballot for 2022 Week 2
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 6, 2022, 11:15 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Re-rack every week. No poll inertia. H2H matters, did they execute their gameplan well, do I believe in their QB, do I believe in their head coach, etc. It's early.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Pounded Oregon to the point of looking like a low-tier G5 school. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Held on to beat a better-than-originally-thought ND team at home. Offense will figure it out, defense looks improved. |
| 3 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Nothing bad happened, but the other two wins were bigger. Smashing Texas would probably vault them to #1 next week. |
| 4 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 5 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
After the rain delay they were technical. |
| 6 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Great fight on the road in the shoe. Buchner could be great for the Golden Domers. |
| 7 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Start Cade. |
| 8 |
Baylor Bears
|
I'm excited for the Baylor-BYU game this week. |
| 9 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 10 |
Florida Gators
|
Impressive hold with their backs against the wall at home. Not as impressive to Vegas as to the rest of the CFB world maybe, but a GREAT win. |
| 11 |
Arkansas Razorbacks
|
I didn't have Cincy ranked, but that's still a quality program with a great coach. Good win. |
| 12 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
Lucky pick, great catharsis beating WVU. |
| 13 |
Utah Utes
|
Tough break, but still a solid team that should compete to get back to Vegas in December. |
| 14 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 15 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 16 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Did y'all know that Braelon Allen is only 15 years old? |
| 17 |
Michigan State Spartans
|
|
| 18 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 19 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
|
| 20 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
Send roses to the ECU kicker for the missed field goal, and the holder for the missed PAT. |
| 21 |
BYU Cougars
|
*See Baylor, above |
| 22 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Let's see how they do on the road at Pitt. |
| 23 |
Houston Cougars
|
|
| 24 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Barely hung on out of respect for the program and players. We'll see how they rebound in the coming weeks, and if they're still able to run the PAC-12 North or not. |
| 25 |
Syracuse Orange
|
There are a bunch of teams who could go at 25. Syracuse's drubbing of Louisville may have flown under the radar, but of the various 1-0 teams with a P5 win this week, I think this win stands out so I'll slide them in here. Bonus points because my brother goes there and he'll yell at me for ranking his team. |
