shadowwingnut Ballot for 2022 Week 7
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 9, 2022, 4:24 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Setup like an old BCS computer. No margin of victory, no priors. Just what have you accomplished this season via W/L and SOS. A Resume ranking.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
The Oregon win is the second most valuable win of the season (behind LSU over Mississippi St) even without the margin of victory. |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 3 |
Clemson Tigers
|
The bad news: High value games against Wake Foest and NC State are already gone by. The good news: Notre Dame's ranking has recovered nicely enough that even an 8-4 Notre Dame is going to have some value |
| 4 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
I don't get it. Checked the data a bunch of times too because this feels just wrong. But the computer is the computer. The other 4 top 10 SEC teams are there in the actual polls and I would vote them there if I were casting a human ballot. |
| 5 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 6 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 7 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
|
| 8 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 9 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 10 |
UCLA Bruins
|
3 Pac-12 teams in the top 10? Yes, the computer likes the top of the league a lot this season. |
| 11 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
I still can't believe it. |
| 12 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
The computer just hates the Big Ten for some reason. This ranking is proof. |
| 13 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 14 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
|
| 15 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 16 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 17 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
|
| 18 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 19 |
Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
|
Top G5 team this week. Shows the importance of not losing in this computer ranking. |
| 20 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
|
| 21 |
LSU Tigers
|
Propped up by the Mississippi State win and an Auburn win that is more valued by the computer than it should be (the computer has no eyes and therefore isn't gouging them out when watching the Auburn offense like we are) |
| 22 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
|
| 23 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
|
| 24 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
This is a vast improvement over last week. Sure the win over Texas Tech helped quite a bit. But so did Arizona St. beating Washington and no longer being ranked as a bottom 5 P5 team. |
| 25 |
Arkansas Razorbacks
|
Cincinnati win is doing heavy work here (Cincinnati, Houston and Syracuse are very close to appearing here) |
