dusklord1 Ballot for 2022 Week 4

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 18, 2022, 8:29 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Out: Michigan State, Miss. State, Marshall, Miami Borderline Ranked: App State, Cinci, Minnesota, UNC

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs
2 Alabama Crimson Tide
3 Ohio State Buckeyes Turns out, missing WR1 and WR3 in the first 2 games *does* hurt the offense a bit (tbf, it was Toledo)
4 Michigan Wolverines
5 Oklahoma Sooners Nebraska is not good, but Oklahoma took care of business and has been taking care of business, so they jump Clemson
6 Clemson Tigers Clemson will still contend for the ACC and is still the favorite to win it, but they just seem increasingly shaky. The offense was questionable at times yesterday, and the defense was less stout than I expected against a low tier G5, giving up 20 points.
7 USC Trojans Impressed that they managed to dominate two games in a row that very well could have been traps. Oregon State will be a legitimate test.
8 Kentucky Wildcats
9 Oklahoma State Cowboys
10 Arkansas Razorbacks I'm assuming Arkansas just got caught looking ahead to A&M and/or Petrino spent the entire offseason scheming for this game and am not overreacting too much. But yikes.
11 Penn State Nittany Lions Beating Auburn on the road is not easy. Blowing out Auburn on the road is even harder. Even taking into consideration that Auburn is not good this year, this game was Auburn's worst home loss since their 3-9 season in 2012. Penn State seems legit.
12 Tennessee Volunteers
13 NC State Wolfpack
14 Utah Utes
15 Ole Miss Rebels
16 Oregon Ducks So either BYU was massively overrated, Georgia is going to beat everyone by 30+ until the SEC championship, or some weird bs happened in game 1, because Oregon looked very good.
17 Florida Gators A win is a win, I guess?
18 Wake Forest Demon Deacons See #17
19 Texas Longhorns
20 Texas A&M Aggies Neither A&M or Miami looked particularly great, but I have to begrudgingly admit that Miami is a decent enough win to get ranked again.
21 Baylor Bears
22 Washington Huskies It's kind of shocking how quickly Washington turned their program back around after a 4-8 season with a loss to an FCS school. The Pac 12 will probably play itself out of playoff contention, but not because its teams all equally suck. They have some quality programs, particularly in the north.
23 BYU Cougars
24 Florida State Seminoles The LSU win is looking better as time goes on. However, FSU itself doesn't exactly look elite. They find ways to keep winning though.
25 Kansas Jayhawks Another ranking on principle alone. Two somewhat convincing road wins over P5 or soon-to-be P5 schools (neither of which are complete embarassments of programs) is good enough to be ranked. Also, Gameday needs to go to Kansas.
