Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 6, 2022, 11:45 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Georgia should be No. 1 in my book as defending national champs and a (for now at least) quality win. Ohio State above Bama because win over Notre Dame. No NC State but yes North Carolina because while I love and respect ECU, only winning because of a couple blocked field goals against a markedly inferior team is not the same as putting up 40 points in a single quarter. FSU gets a jump into the rankings because a win over the SEC on the road is a good sign of things to come at least.
