Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Jan. 11, 2023, 9:42 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Not a lot of thought in this one. Don't really like postseason polls, but here's mine. For overall rationale, just see my last poll.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
After needing a last second missed FG from Ohio State to win, the Bulldogs murdered TCU back to the MWC in the Championship Game. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
A lot of people were calling the Georgia-Ohio State game the "true National Championship" as it was playing at, and those people turned out to be right. |
| 3 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Tough break for the Hypnotoads in the Championship, but at least they won a playoff game unlike... |
| 4 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
The Wolverines...definition of "sucks to suck" after they watched the team that beat them lose by 58 pts in the Championship. |
| 5 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Left out of the playoffs, but dominated the ACC Championship with a back up QB + key players missing because of the draft. |
| 6 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
If only Alabama played this mad against LSU, maybe they wouldn't have been left out of the playoffs... |
| 7 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Not a bad way to end the season by beating the PAC 12 Championship by two TDs. |
| 8 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
I wanted to put them higher, but I couldn't if I actually wanted this poll to be accurate. |
| 9 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
At least they can say they were the Big 12 Champions this season... |
| 10 |
Washington Huskies
|
Great way to end the season. I hope Penix Jr comes back so they can make another run at the PAC 12 title. |
| 11 |
Utah Utes
|
Disappointing end to the season for the PAC 12 Champs, who were a lot of peoples "darkhorse" CFP team this season. |
| 12 |
USC Trojans
|
Roll Wave!...(is that what Tulane really says?) |
| 13 |
Clemson Tigers
|
LOL |
| 14 |
LSU Tigers
|
Murder Train by The Foreskins (How I Met Your Mother) |
| 15 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
Oregon State saw Gator was on the menu and bought the place out. |
| 16 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Wish they got a better opponent than Oklahoma, but also really glad they won. |
| 17 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Ending the season 9-2 with a bowl win over a top 25 opponent looked impossible after their week 2 loss to Marshall. |
| 18 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Needed a comeback win against this UNC team? |
| 19 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
Went out strong for the Great Pirate Coach Leach. |
| 20 |
Troy Trojans
|
Would be talked about more if Tulane wasn't so good. |
| 21 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
Took the Bruins' lunch money. |
| 22 |
Fresno State Bulldogs
|
Read somewhere that Fresno State was the first team in FBS history to start 1-4 and finish the season with 10 wins. Just crazy to think about. |
| 23 |
UCLA Bruins
|
You guys ready for the Big Ten? |
| 24 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
Not much to say here. |
| 25 |
Duke Blue Devils
|
Duke > Texas in basketball, football, and marriages apparently. |
