Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 3, 2022, 11:39 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Nothing much really changed in the Top 10, except for Kentucky's loss. The top 6 teams keep proving why they are the top 6. It'll take a big loss by any of them for the Top 6 to really change much. Sorry for not having a poll the past few weeks. My wife passed away and I just wasn't in the mindset. But this will help keep me busy and keep my mind off of it.

Oklahoma State Cowboys

A matchup of last years Big XII title game. It was a great game, the Cowboys are definitely legit this year. |
| 9 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
LANE KIFFIN. 'nuff said. |
| 10 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 11 |
Oregon Ducks
|
That loss to Georgia was no fluke. They are playing lights out right now. It'll probably be Oregon-USC in the Pac-12 title game. |
| 12 |
Utah Utes
|
They still haven't really played anybody, imo. They have a few tough tests @UCLA and @Oregon, as well as USC at home. Those will prove if the Utes are legit. |
| 13 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
Man what a tough loss by the the Wildcats. That fumble by Levis at the end was a heartbreaker, but they definitely are still a team to beat this year. |
| 14 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
They kept it close against Clemson after beating them last year. Their offense just didn't look great this year. Still a Top 15 team for sure though. |
| 15 |
BYU Cougars
|
Man, they really struggled the past 2 games which is super frustrating...but win and you move up. I don't think they deserve to be much higher than this yet, but if they beat Notre Dame and Arkansas, then they deserve a Top 10 spot. |
| 16 |
UCLA Bruins
|
Chip Kelly has them back on the map |
| 17 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
If they can get past Syracuse and Clemson then they can be back in the title game. But that's a tall order right now. |
| 18 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Cats look good. That's all I can say. Martinez is a beast. |
| 19 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
Deserved to be ranked last week. They're playing really well. |
| 20 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Bye-bye OU. Enjoy the SEC! |
| 21 |
Washington Huskies
|
|
| 22 |
Syracuse Orange
|
Well, well, well, I have to say I am impressed with Robert Anae and Jason Beck. Both went from BYU to Virginia, and then to Syracuse and they have them at 5-0. The most surprising team of the season imo. |
| 23 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
|
| 24 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 25 |
James Madison Dukes
|
I have been saying all year that the Dukes are going to be a force to be reckoned with. I think they'll be in the SBC championship game. That game @ Louisville on November 5th is looking really good right now. |
