coletheredditer Ballot for 2023 Preseason

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 19, 2023, 2:01 a.m.

Overall Rationale: I somehow am an actual poll voter, so I need to take this somewhat seriously, I guess. Next 5 are Kansas State, UTSA, Kansas, Troy, and Duke

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs “I am become Georgia, destroyer of polls.”
2 Michigan Wolverines One of the few top tier teams without a QB controversy, even Alabama has one of those.
3 Ohio State Buckeyes Marvin Harrison Jr. go fast.
4 USC Trojans A national title contender if they stop blowing 2 score leads, something that’s been said across Lincoln Riley’s entire career .
5 LSU Tigers Week 1 decides their fate.
6 Alabama Crimson Tide Putting Alabama this low feels wrong, but I can’t put them any higher, so take this as bulletin board material I guess?
7 Clemson Tigers Too talented to lose, right?
8 Penn State Nittany Lions Either going 12-0 or 6-6, No in between.
9 Florida State Seminoles Same as LSU but less cajun.
10 Washington Huskies 3-9 in 2021 by the way, Penix is that guy.
11 North Carolina Tar Heels Am I too high on them? yes. Do I think Drake Maye will be a Heisman finalist? Also yes.
12 Texas Longhorns Winning the Big 12 in your final year as a big f you to the rest of the conference would be funny.
13 Oregon Ducks Success relies on Bo Nix having fun, and buying more Manhattan billboards.
14 Tulane Green Wave Ole Miss vs Tulane may be the most underrated game of the year.
15 Oregon State Beavers The positive is you have a quarterback, the negative is it’s DJ Uiagalelei, and there’s a reason he transferred out of Clemson.
16 Tennessee Volunteers Joe Milton may have the best arm in all of College Football power wise, accuracy wise you pray every time he throws a deep ball.
17 Notre Dame Fighting Irish *this space was intentionally left blank*
18 Utah Utes Is scared they might lose to Graham Mertz Florida, which might be a cause for concern.
19 Wisconsin Badgers Might go 11-1 and play in the B1G title game, could also go 4-8 and end the 20 year long bowling streak, who knows now that the Badgers might pass the ball sometimes, the horror!
20 TCU Horned Frogs 13 players on last years team are now in the NFL, 13!
21 South Carolina Gamecocks Remember when Spencer Rattler was going to be the #1 pick in the 2022 draft?
22 Iowa Hawkeyes 25 PPG would’ve put Iowa at the 85th most points per game last year, they would’ve gone 11-2 with losses to Michigan and Ohio State.
23 Boise State Broncos QUICK! Can you name who Boise State played in their bowl game last year? It was North Texas.
24 Texas Tech Red Raiders Honestly don’t think they’ll win the Big 12 but seeing Texas Tech have any form of success would be a joy to watch.
25 Ole Miss Rebels Only here because the SEC paid me to place them over Kansas State, not because Quinshon Judkins might be the Doak Walker winner, or anything like that.
