crownebeach Ballot for 2023 Week 4
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 18, 2023, 1:55 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Trying to be more reactive than usual, as most of the top teams have significant changes over last year that are worth considering.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Washington Huskies
|
Treated a Big Ten team (albeit one with an interim) as nastily as Ohio State and Michigan treated buy game opponents. Elite offense. |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
South Carolina is pretty good. I don't think UGA's quarterback situation is great, but they are strong and they are fast. |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 4 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 5 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Boston College is bad. Unacceptable performance on defense. |
| 6 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 7 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 8 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Wyoming went into Austin and played their game. UT looked like the better team for the final three quarters, but I think that game says more about WY's quality than anything negative about Texas. |
| 9 |
Utah Utes
|
Beating Florida is cool now! |
| 10 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 11 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
I think Miami might be amazing, but their schedule is too soft to be sure. |
| 12 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
I was skeptical of OU, but they've done everything right since the jump this season. |
| 13 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 14 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
|
| 15 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 16 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 17 |
Missouri Tigers
|
|
| 18 |
Washington State Cougars
|
|
| 19 |
UCF Knights
|
|
| 20 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
|
| 21 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 22 |
SMU Mustangs
|
|
| 23 |
Duke Blue Devils
|
|
| 24 |
Wyoming Cowboys
|
No reason to dock them for losing to Texas at Texas. |
| 25 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
