Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 18, 2022, 9:17 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Moving to a tiered system from here on out. The teams within each tier will be ranked in order.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Tier #1 |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Tier #1 |
| 3 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Tier #1 |
| 4 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Tier #2 |
| 5 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Tier #2 |
| 6 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Tier #2 |
| 7 |
USC Trojans
|
Tier #2 - The gap between them and Utah is not that wide, defense needs to clean it up and have a tough task against the Beavs this week. |
| 8 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Tier #2 - I am less and less impressed with them each week. I'd bet good money they don't make it out of the ACC schedule undefeated. |
| 9 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
Tier #3 |
| 10 |
Utah Utes
|
Tier #3 - The offense isn't quite as powerful as last year, but I still believe they're the toughest out in the P12. |
| 11 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Tier #3 - Looks like they'e on the way to 10-2, is this the year they make it to Indy? |
| 12 |
Arkansas Razorbacks
|
Tier #3 - Someone got caught looking ahead to A&M... |
| 13 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Tier #4 - The offensive line dominated off the ball yesterday, haven't seen that against a ranked team in a long time. Could make a large jump into Tier #3 with a dominant win against Wazzu. |
| 14 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Tier #4 - Hard to place them until they're healthy again. |
| 15 |
Baylor Bears
|
Tier #4 |
| 16 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Tier #4 - They remind me a lot of Penn State, could see 6-2 in SEC play, could see 3-5. |
| 17 |
Minnesota Golden Gophers
|
Tier #5 - It's criminal how little recognition they're getting nationwide. |
| 18 |
Florida Gators
|
Tier #5 - Frauds, total frauds. |
| 19 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Tier #5 |
| 20 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
Tier #6 - Confirmed not a coward for ranking them. If ASU was smart, they'd fire Herm today and make a run at Coach Lance. |
| 21 |
Washington Huskies
|
Tier #6 |
| 22 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Tier #6 |
| 23 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
Tier #6 |
| 24 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Tier #6 - Nice to see Mario roll over in a big game for someone other than the Ducks. God that offense was boring as hell to watch. |
| 25 |
Washington State Cougars
|
Tier #6 - They're flat out good, nervous for the matchup this week. |
