Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 18, 2022, 8:27 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 still early, so teams who have beaten quality opponents are inflated a bit, but it will even out once we get past the cupcake weeks.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | I mean...come on. I watched this one live in Willy B and it was hard to leave without thinking a repeat is seriously on the table. |
2 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Back to teams with pulses soon |
3 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Back to teams with pulses soon |
4 | Kentucky Wildcats | Same reasoning as last week. Do I think they're actually the 4th best team? Probably not. Do I think their resume so far warrants this? Yeah. |
5 | Tennessee Volunteers | Good road win and a couple cupcake blowouts. We'll see. |
6 | Oklahoma Sooners | Damn, y'all. Nebraska players have families. |
7 | USC Trojans | The defense may be a bit of a question mark, but they dismantled a solid Fresno St team. |
8 | Michigan Wolverines | Yawn. Wake me when Michigan plays a team that's not likely one of the 10 worst in FBS. |
9 | Penn State Nittany Lions | I wasn't a believer in this team, and they still may end up 9-3 or so, but going to Auburn and smacking them around was great. |
10 | Clemson Tigers | I don't know where else to really slot this team. A mystery. |
11 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Still love the veteran leadership on this squad |
12 | NC State Wolfpack | Back to where they likely should be after and early-season near upset |
13 | Arkansas Razorbacks | Dropping 8 slots this week, they almost lost to Missouri State at home. Yikes. |
14 | Washington Huskies | My Penix is hard. |
15 | Ole Miss Rebels | Any team who hangs a 42-0 scoreline on Tech is alright with me |
16 | Oregon State Beavers | RESPECT THE BEAVS |
17 | Texas Longhorns | Creeping toward full backness |
18 | Oregon Ducks | Maybe Georgia is that good. Or maybe Bo Nix just had felt more relaxed and had more fun playing BYU. He might be a dark horse... |
19 | Utah Utes | Like Clemson, I'm pretty sure this team should be ranked, but it's hard to fully tell where. |
20 | BYU Cougars | Ouch. I still think they're good though. |
21 | Baylor Bears | I may think Baylor is a better team than BYU, but at this point in the season, I'm still taking H2H into account here. |
22 | Syracuse Orange | CHOO CHOO MFS |
23 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | Escaped Liberty by the hair on their chinny chin chin. Still like this Hartman-led offense, but that defense could get them in trouble and lead to a loss before too long. |
24 | Appalachian State Mountaineers | This is a team of destiny. Which makes it all the more frustrating that they couldn't convert those 2-pt conversions against UNC |
25 | Kansas Jayhawks | RANK KANSAS AND GIVE THEM GAMEDAY, YOU COWARDS |
