Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 18, 2022, 9:35 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Very good games despite few teams dropping out of my poll. Mostly due to the teams either playing ranked opponents or not losing to unranked opponents.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | SC got a junk touchdown against Georgia, but the game was basically out of reach for the majority of the contest. |
2 | Oklahoma Sooners | Dismantled Nebraska after the Huskers first drive. |
3 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Played LA-Monroe and did what they needed to. |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Although they put up a ton of points they also gave up the most points yet this season. |
5 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Easy win over an FCS opponent. |
6 | Michigan Wolverines | Dismantled UConn but disappointed they didn't play a P5 non-conference opponent. |
7 | Kentucky Wildcats | Handled Youngstown State with ease. |
8 | Clemson Tigers | Less than stellar performance against LA Tech. I'm dropping them for now. |
9 | USC Trojans | Handled Fresno State, they move into the Top 10. |
10 | Ole Miss Rebels | GA Tech never stood a chance. |
11 | NC State Wolfpack | Got a good win against a Big 12 opponent, Texas Tech (after they won against #25 Houston). I move them up to just outside the Top 10. |
12 | Tennessee Volunteers | Easy opponent in Akron but they took care of business. |
13 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Destroyed Auburn from start to finish. They climb quickly. |
14 | Baylor Bears | Good, but expected, win. They move up. |
15 | Texas A&M Aggies | Great defense by the Aggies kept Miami out of the endzone. They move back into the Top 15. |
16 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | They didn't lose, but they also didn't impress against Liberty. |
17 | Florida Gators | Again, they didn't lose, but they didn't impress against South Florida. |
18 | Florida State Seminoles | A comeback win at Louisville? Florida State suddenly seems real. |
19 | Washington State Cougars | A trap game after an emotional win in Madison was expected. The Cougars took care of business. |
20 | Washington Huskies | Pummeled MSU and let the defense hold them back the rest of the game. |
21 | Miami Hurricanes | One score loss to A&M, but being kept out of the endzone is unfortunate for them. |
22 | Oregon Ducks | A signature win for Oregon to get back into the PAC-12 conversation. |
23 | Michigan State Spartans | They stay in because they didn't give up and managed to make it interesting towards the end of the game. |
24 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | Pummeled Colorado and is looking like the team to beat in the West. |
25 | Appalachian State Mountaineers | Dropped because they shouldn't have been in a position to win on a Hail Mary against Troy in the first place. |
