Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Aug. 22, 2023, 8:59 a.m.
Overall Rationale: It's ALL wild guesses hereon out...but if you ask me, I personally go with the AP/Coaches Poll say first (at least regarding the range where teams can land), then I research more data from Sagarin or ESPN (among others) to make a complete picture.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | Jawja is Jawja, no matter what |
2 | Michigan Wolverines | Might be TOO high considering no Harbaugh for these next few games...but still good confidence |
3 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Maybe too bearish on Bama...after all, even a "weaker" team is still a national contender... |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Not in THAT much trouble...but a response to Michigan is MUCH needed this year... |
5 | USC Trojans | Drinking the Riley RiteAid - will I regret it? Will I not? Up to them to tell me... |
6 | LSU Tigers | Just me and my F A M U H L E E expecting good (if not great) things from the Tigers... |
7 | Clemson Tigers | Can Dabo rebound? Tbh, he may very well do so... |
8 | Penn State Nittany Lions | The perpetual B1G East bronze medalist...maybe things will be different this year... |
9 | Florida State Seminoles | Could it be? A Seminole Renaissance? Perhaps so... |
10 | Washington Huskies | DeBoer is Boer-y good! But enough to be a CFP hopeful? |
11 | Tennessee Volunteers | Like FSU, Tennessee is back in style! But can they capture lightning in a bottle again? |
12 | Texas Longhorns | Getting Bevopilled yet again...perhaps they'll give the Big 12 one last FU by winning it all? |
13 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Our Father, hollowed be thy name...perhaps you can give Marcus Freeman some of your strength this season? |
14 | Utah Utes | Will Whittingham and the Utes play spoiler to another Pac-12 team's CFP dreams? Will THEY be the ones spoiled? Tune in to find out... |
15 | Oregon State Beavers | Wouldn't it be funny if Oregon State BTFO'd the rest of the conference AND division this year? It would...but the path to get there is long... |
16 | Kansas State Wildcats | Kansas State's Klieman is currently the cool kid in the collective of college football! |
17 | Oregon Ducks | After shattering the Cristobal of old (get it?), the Ducks are surprisingly decent! But can it carry over? |
18 | TCU Horned Frogs | ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD. ALL THE LUCK TO HOPEFULLY REPEATING THE SAME FROM LAST SEASON. |
19 | Oklahoma Sooners | Oklahoma is OK! A tough new reality to adjust to for many fans...but hey, you'll manage, right? |
20 | Tulane Green Wave | Feeling bullish on Tulane (maybe a bit TOO much)...but hey, they're promising! And kept most of the squad together! What's not to like? |
21 | Wisconsin Badgers | THEY MADE PURDUE TAKE OUR DC!!! THAT MAKES ME ANGERY!!! but Fickell is likely going to do great things at Madison too... |
22 | North Carolina Tar Heels | I feel like I keep falling into the same trap with the Tar Heels...maybe not this time though? |
23 | Ole Miss Rebels | Crazy how Kiffin was THIS close to leaving Ole Miss...but hey, great for the Rebs that he stayed around! |
24 | UTSA Roadrunners | Likely Jeff Traylor's last season in San Antonio...but what an incredible transformation it has been! |
25 | Colorado Buffaloes | Yes, this is a shitposty last pick...but hey, you never know now, do you? |
