donbagert Ballot for 2023 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 5, 2023, 9:42 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Traditional

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs As expected. Can Georgia go 15-0 again?
2 Michigan Wolverines Too much controversy may eventually hurt their CFP placement.
3 Alabama Crimson Tide How is it that a marching band controversy eclipses the rematch with UT?
4 Ohio State Buckeyes Indiana fought hard against the Buckeyes.
5 Florida State Seminoles The Sunday/Monday night CFB games were dominated by the underdogs!
6 Tennessee Volunteers Looked stronger than Penn State in Week 1, thus the poll switch.
7 Penn State Nittany Lions West Virginia fought hard; PSU's last touchdown with 6 seconds left makes the victory seem easier.
8 Utah Utes Sloppy win for the two-time Pac champs.
9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Will September 30 matchup at Duke be a trap game? ND's schedule offsets their not having a conference championship possibility.
10 USC Trojans Living up to the hype so far.
11 Kansas State Wildcats Workmanlike win has K-State on schedule.
12 Texas A&M Aggies This is a good time for a test of the new A&M offense vs. Miami.
13 LSU Tigers Is this far enough to drop LSU? Probably not. LSU now needs to win the SEC to make the CFP.
14 Oklahoma Sooners The forgotten team in all the realignment controversy.
15 Clemson Tigers Did Clemson's new QB get too much spotlight thrust upon him too soon?
16 Oregon Ducks Enjoy it now while you can.
17 North Carolina Tar Heels Getting ready for a move to the SEC?
18 Ole Miss Rebels Another forgotten SEC team, which may be to their advantage.
19 Miami Hurricanes Hard to believe that A&M and Miami have only played 4 times before this week.
20 Texas Longhorns Texas enjoys scheduling and then stomping Rice every few years.
21 Washington Huskies Sleeper team in last Pac-12 race?
22 Wisconsin Badgers Get used to those trips out to the west coast :)
23 Tulane Green Wave Hard to believe, but a Power-5 conference may be their future home.
24 Iowa Hawkeyes Wow! They scored three more touchdowns and gave up two less safeties than in last year's opener!
25 Colorado Buffaloes Most pundits are still predicting a losing record for the Buffaloes.
