JHallquist Ballot for 2023 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 5, 2023, 3:42 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Based on what I personally watched, highlights, and reading sports media pieces.

Rank Team Reason
1 Florida State Seminoles Statement opening week win against LSU. Deserves number 1 ranking as it’s the best win by any team this season so far.
2 Georgia Bulldogs
3 USC Trojans Offense looks great, defense still weakness but improved from opening week.
4 Alabama Crimson Tide
5 Ohio State Buckeyes
6 Penn State Nittany Lions
7 Michigan Wolverines
8 Washington Huskies Dominating win against a decent Boise St team. Almost put them higher but those B10 teams ahead of them are legit and did nothing to drop.
9 Utah Utes Strong payback victory over the Gators.
10 Tennessee Volunteers
11 Notre Dame Fighting Irish QB looks like he could be the answer for the Irish as the defense looks awesome.
12 LSU Tigers Wasn’t sure how far I would drop them, I feel here is safe. Led at halftime but played a poor 2nd half.
13 North Carolina Tar Heels Maye made some mistakes, but Heels make statement with easier than expected win against SoCar.
14 Oregon Ducks Record 81 points scored against poor Portland State. Or do I feel worse for the Duck who had to do all those push-ups?
15 Oregon State Beavers The DJU era off to a bang. Watch out for the Beavs as a sneaky contender this season.
16 Kansas State Wildcats
17 Texas Longhorns No Archie? Shame!!
18 Oklahoma Sooners
19 Ole Miss Rebels
20 Texas A&M Aggies
21 Duke Blue Devils Huge upset win at home vs Clemson! Not just a basketball school.
22 Wisconsin Badgers
23 Tulane Green Wave
24 UCLA Bruins
25 Colorado Buffaloes Primetime kicks off with fireworks. Amazing game and thrilling victory vs last seasons runner up in TCU on their field.
