EpicSchwinn Ballot for 2023 Preseason
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Aug. 8, 2023, 7:58 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Mixture of S&P+, Coaches, returning production and, most importantly, vibes.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Well, duh. |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
They’ll lose some game along the way and OSU fans will have a breakdown. They’ll be fine though. |
| 4 |
USC Trojans
|
Caleb. Williams. |
| 5 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
You bet against a guy that eats hamburgers at 10AM. I won’t. |
| 6 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
I am fully on the Florida State hype train. I think they’re a solid playoff contender. If they make it through September undefeated, they should be #1 and will be a playoff team. |
| 7 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Bo Nix Heisman watch, calling it now. Gonna vibe his way to an NY6. |
| 8 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 9 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 10 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
They’re bringing a ton of dudes back and surely Jimbo has a way to win football games in his hilariously disheveled playbook. |
| 11 |
Clemson Tigers
|
|
| 12 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Penn State will Penn State again. James Franklin will be linked to jobs ranging from Dairy Queen assistant manager to Commandant of the Marine Corps (not if Tommy Tuberville has anything to say about it). |
| 13 |
Washington Huskies
|
|
| 14 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Who knows? Was last year a fluke? I hope not. If Milton plays to his potential and has a supporting cast on par with Hooker’s last year, the ceiling is higher. |
| 15 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 16 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 17 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 18 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
|
| 19 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
DJ is going to have fun and complement a well oiled machine already. P12N dark horse. Civil war is gonna be WILD. |
| 20 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
If they have even kind of a functional offense this year, they’ll be a steamroller. That’s a big if. |
| 21 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
|
| 22 |
Air Force Falcons
|
Support the troops. Hooyah or whatever they say in Air Force land. “I’m here to check in at the Renaissance” maybe? |
| 23 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
Lawrence is now a football town and Lance Leipold should be the next governor. |
| 24 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
|
| 25 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
