Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 17, 2023, 2:17 a.m.
Overall Rationale: I try to rank off resume, and not which team I necessarily think is “better”
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 2 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 4 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 5 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Boston College looks REALLY bad so a close game against them merits a drop in my opinion, but a win is a win, and I expect Florida State to rebound |
| 6 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 7 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 8 |
Washington Huskies
|
|
| 9 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 10 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 11 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 12 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 13 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Bad game against a bad South Florida team makes me question Alabama, cracks appeared last year and I believe those are getting worse, Alabama’s defense should keep them competitive, but winning big games will be tough |
| 14 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
|
| 15 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 16 |
Duke Blue Devils
|
|
| 17 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 18 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
|
| 19 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
|
| 20 |
Clemson Tigers
|
|
| 21 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
|
| 22 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 23 |
Washington State Cougars
|
|
| 24 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Missouri at 3-0 with a win against Kansas State deserves to be ranked in this early season. They had a ugly game against Middle Tennessee, but a win is a win, and Kansas State will probably be good |
| 25 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Kansas State barely gets into the rankings solely because Missouri hasn’t lost yet. I bumped Tennessee out of the rankings because they looked bad against Austin Peay and lost badly to a Florida team that has started the year off unimpressively. Honorable Mention teams in no particular order are: UCLA Rutgers Maryland Louisville Wyoming |
