Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 3, 2022, 11:19 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Basically my personal rationale, but G5 teams and P5 Unranked teams definitely get more of a push than the AP Poll gives them
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Regardless of how easy you perceive their schedule to be, they have not let up |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
If not for the Texas game, they're #1 here |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Mizzou exposed their weaknesses hard and I don't expect them to be top 4 going into the CFP |
| 4 |
Clemson Tigers
|
They have TWO good options at QB, but a hard division to top. |
| 5 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
A perfect team whose kryptonite is September Maryland |
| 6 |
USC Trojans
|
The DMV pair of Williams-Addison is one to fear |
| 7 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Hooker is that guy |
| 8 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Clifford is good now???? They seem to be pretenders but have not shown weakness thus far, with a tough schedule to follow |
| 9 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Also undefeated, but can't seem to place them above any other team here |
| 10 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
Electrifying team to watch, schedule will prove whether or not they deserve to be where they are. If they keep it up, 8 is not unreasonable whatsoever |
| 11 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Ole Miss finally gets a quality win and deserves their ranking |
| 12 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
Hartman is proving to be one of the best and most interesting quarterbacks in football, period |
| 13 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
Unlucky loss to Ole Miss, but still can hang with the big guys |
| 14 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Ducks have not stopped quacking as of yet |
| 15 |
Syracuse Orange
|
They've had one bad game, otherwise have played incredible. |
| 16 |
BYU Cougars
|
They haven't had the hardest schedule, but the Oregon win will prove to be big for their future |
| 17 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Team looks great, College Gameday in Lawrence will be a big test |
| 18 |
James Madison Dukes
|
CFP team if not for the stupid transition year. Only real competition is Coastal their final week. |
| 19 |
Maryland Terrapins
|
4 wins and a close game throughout to UMich? Easily one of the better CFB teams but will need to prove themselves with a tough B1G schedule coming up |
| 20 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
That loss to tulane is going to ruin their chances at anything big, but they could've done something big with the talent on this roster |
| 21 |
UCLA Bruins
|
this is temporary until they have to play OSU and UMich |
| 22 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
RANK TULANE YOU COWARDS. The KState and Houston wins were huge. Not to mention the third stringer being the one taking it home for the Green Wave |
| 23 |
Utah Utes
|
Lost to UF in the first week and haven't played any really tough opponents period, but still 4-1 |
| 24 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Still deserve the spot in the top 25, Noles might be back |
| 25 |
Washington Huskies
|
Still deserving of a spot even after the embarrassment of this week |
