ryseing Ballot for 2022 Week 8
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 16, 2022, 3:47 p.m.
Overall Rationale: I of course have watched my team the most and we are not t25 worthy especially with Leary done for the year. Preseason bias is keeping us afloat in the AP and I would encourage my fellow voters to not rank us.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Tennessee with the best win of the year. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 4 |
Clemson Tigers
|
|
| 5 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Michigan finally beat someone with a pulse. |
| 6 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 7 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Really impressive win over OK State even if Sanders' shoulder was shot. This team might be a Playoff contender. |
| 8 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 9 |
Oregon Ducks
|
More and more that Georgia opener looks like opening week jitters. Very excited for the UCLA game Saturday. |
| 10 |
UCLA Bruins
|
|
| 11 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
Best of the non Oregon one loss teams by far I think. |
| 12 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 13 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 14 |
Syracuse Orange
|
|
| 15 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 16 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
|
| 17 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 18 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 19 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
I do think h2h matters if the teams are about equal otherwise, hence Tulane being a spot above KSU. |
| 20 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
|
| 21 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
|
| 22 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
|
| 23 |
Purdue Boilermakers
|
|
| 24 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
UNC is utterly fraudulent and will win ten games because of their schedule. As someone who watches them weekly because I hate myself, I'm fine with ranking them but I will be damned if I rank them above 20 any point this year. The definition of the can't keep getting away with this GIF. |
| 25 |
UCF Knights
|
I don't know what happened against Louisville but when you get to this point in the poll in mid-October, everyone has a dumb loss. |
