colonel750 Ballot for 2022 Week 6

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 2, 2022, 3:54 p.m.

Overall Rationale: My poll this week mostly matches the AP top 25 with only some changes towards the top and bottom of the list. The top 4 spots I've arranged in order of who I think are the four top teams in the four top Power 5 conferences. I've adjusted some of the Big XII teams towards the bottom because I am unsure of their staying power.

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes Ohio State is the best looking team on the field in what is shaping up to be the most chaotic year we've had in a long while.
2 Alabama Crimson Tide Saban's crew has had some bumps in the road along the way but still looks like they will win the SEC Championship handily.
3 Clemson Tigers As a returning championship team Clemson brings the ACC to a definitive 3rd seed in the conference playoff.
4 Oklahoma State Cowboys The Big XII looks to be one of the most competitive conferences this season with a perennial contender (and honestly the prime candidate to take OU's place as the dominant team in the conference once they leave) in the driver's seat, Oklahoma State has the tools to win out and take a rightful place in the playoffs.
5 Georgia Bulldogs Georgia looked weak in its game against Mizzou and does not look like it could beat Bama, in all likelihood they'll drop a game to Tennessee or Kentucky.
6 Michigan Wolverines
7 USC Trojans The PAC-12 looks exceedingly weak as a conference and Lincoln Riley is doing what he does best, being top dog in a conference that can't compete with Blue Blood recruiting.
8 Tennessee Volunteers
9 Ole Miss Rebels
10 Penn State Nittany Lions
11 Utah Utes
12 Oregon Ducks
13 Kentucky Wildcats
14 NC State Wolfpack
15 Wake Forest Demon Deacons
16 Kansas State Wildcats K State has convincing wins over OU and Tech, and the OU seems to be garbage tier this season their win over tech puts them ahead of everyone else in the Big XII.
17 BYU Cougars
18 UCLA Bruins
19 Washington Huskies
20 Syracuse Orange
21 TCU Horned Frogs TCU needs another convincing win in order to make me think they're somebody within the Big XII this year.
22 Mississippi State Bulldogs
23 Cincinnati Bearcats
24 LSU Tigers
25 Kansas Jayhawks Kansas is either going to keep the flame alive this week or end their undefeated streak when they face off against a ranked TCU. My bet is TCU wins this one.
