llamawhittlings Ballot for 2023 Week 3
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 11, 2023, 11:30 a.m.
Overall Rationale: A mix of K-Ford's resume ranking with SP+ weighted on how many games a team has played. The more games played, Resume % goes up and SP+ % goes down.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Would not rank them #1 in a human poll, but they are 2nd in SP+ and 20th in Resume from KFord. |
| 2 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
#4 SP+, #19 Resume Score |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
#1 in SP+, #37 in Resume Score |
| 4 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Would have them higher in a human poll. Expect them to shoot up as preseason projections fade out over the weeks. #8 SP+, #2 Resume. |
| 5 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
#3 SP+, #30 Resume |
| 6 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Would have them higher in a human poll and expect them to shoot up as the weeks go on. #10 SP+, #1 Resume |
| 7 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
#7 SP+, #10 Resume |
| 8 |
USC Trojans
|
Would have them higher in a human poll. #6 SP+, #22 Resume |
| 9 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Would downgrade them based on QB in a human poll. Still #5 SP+, #38 Resume |
| 10 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Would have them higher in a human poll. 11th in both SP+ and Resume. Consistency! |
| 11 |
Washington Huskies
|
9th in SP+, 17th in Resume |
| 12 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
13th in SP+, 7th in Resume |
| 13 |
Oregon Ducks
|
14th in SP+, 8th in Resume |
| 14 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
12th in SP+, 33rd in Resume |
| 15 |
Utah Utes
|
18th in SP+, 6th in Resume. Expect a lag in rankings for the computers to adjust when (if?) Rising returns |
| 16 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
15th SP+, 26th Resume |
| 17 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
17th SP+, 16th Resume |
| 18 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Might be a Schroedinger's Team. 21st SP+, 5th Resume |
| 19 |
LSU Tigers
|
16th SP+, 49th Resume |
| 20 |
Auburn Tigers
|
24th SP+, 12th Resume. The Cal Bump is real. |
| 21 |
UCLA Bruins
|
22nd SP+, 25th Resume |
| 22 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
25th SP+, 13th Resume |
| 23 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
23rd SP+, 27th Resume |
| 24 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
As an Aggie, this team absolutely does *NOT* deserve to be ranked. But they're still 20th in SP+, which I expect to drop when the computers phase out preseason projections and realize that this defense certainly isn't the 12th-best in the country. 52nd-ranked Resume. Would not have them ranked in a human poll. |
| 25 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
27th SP+, 29th Resume |
