Muffinnnnnnn Ballot for 2022 Week 14

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 29, 2022, 3:13 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Wins and losses matter. Same record and a head-to-head win means you must go ahead, with the exception of the Pac-12, like usual, because everyone beats everyone. Penn State should be ahead of both Tennessee and Alabama, and Tennessee, seeing as they BEAT Bama, should also be ahead of them. I don't really understand why UCF keeps rising in the polls. They lost to a 3-win Navy and barely beat a 1-win USF in back to back weeks, and they've been moving up?? I don't get it. Beat Tulane once again and they'll deserve their ranking. Florida State would probably beat Clemson if the two teams played right now, but the game was played already and Clemson won, so there's no way I can put them behind FSU. Who I can put behind FSU is LSU however after their loss to the bowl-less Jimbos. Speaking of game results mattering, I have a major bone to pick with the AP rankings this week. Oregon/Oregon State, LSU/FSU, Alabama/Tennessee, Kansas State/Tulane. All examples of teams with the same or BETTER record, who beat a team head-to-head, and yet finds themselves behind them in the rankings. It just makes no sense. Texas finally comes back in the top 25 this week for me, somewhat begrudgingly, but the win over UTSA looks better every week. Oh, I can't believe I forgot Michigan/Georgia. It just comes down to best win for me there, and Michigan clearly has it. Not a huge difference though, and those could be flipped either way. Performance in their respective conference championship games will probably be my tiebreaker.
