Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 12, 2022, 10:29 a.m.
Overall Rationale: still an early season poll. preseason expectations are a small part of my consideration, so few teams with a loss are ranked. i really wanted to rank marshall, but notre dame is just ass i think. won't be surprised if nd finishes with a losing record.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | after watching alabama, i'm confident georgia could beat any team in the country. |
2 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
3 | Michigan Wolverines | feels weird putting michigan at #3, but they got the spot until someone else proves they deserve it |
4 | Clemson Tigers | |
5 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
6 | BYU Cougars | byu looks legit |
7 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | defense looked much better than the CMU game |
8 | Texas Longhorns | see alabama |
9 | Kentucky Wildcats | did not see that win over florida coming. congrats kentucky |
10 | Tennessee Volunteers | |
11 | Arkansas Razorbacks | |
12 | USC Trojans | |
13 | Michigan State Spartans | |
14 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | |
15 | Alabama Crimson Tide | very bad officiating on multiple key calls that had a clear impact on the score in a game that was ultimately decided by a single point (face mask on Robinson in the red zone that should've been first and goal from the 5, blatant PI on Sanders in the endzone on third down, major offensive hold on Young's 19 yard run to set up the game winning kick, over-the-back PI on Worthy). not considering that play on Young in the end zone because it was close enough in real time to go either way. perhaps the most consequentially bad officiating i can recall watching. this poll is not making the same mistakes as the officials and is treating that game as an alabama loss. |
16 | Appalachian State Mountaineers | lol aggies, but also app state continues to be the p5 killer. |
17 | NC State Wolfpack | way less ugly than last week, good job wolfpack |
18 | Ole Miss Rebels | |
19 | North Carolina Tar Heels | putting them behind app state despite the head-to-head. app state has the more impressive win and i'd be more scared to play them right now. |
20 | Florida State Seminoles | didn't play this week, but i didn't forget about that win in death valley |
21 | Washington State Cougars | wisconsin is a good team. very impressive road win |
22 | Miami Hurricanes | |
23 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
24 | Iowa State Cyclones | put up 10 on that stifling iowa defense |
25 | Baylor Bears | didn't deserve to be unranked after a tough 2OT loss on the road. crowded with b12 at the bottom of the poll lol |
