w8w8 Ballot for 2023 Week 5

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 24, 2023, 5:30 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Finally starting to get a good feel of where everyone's at, but plenty of weeks left in the season nonetheless. I would be a little surprised if anyone in the top 10 of my rankings dropped out within the next 2 weeks but we'll see. #18 onwards can best be described as: "Good/decent team that deserves to be ranked but could drop easily"

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs I could very easily see Georgia dropping to #2 in my rankings if they get a closer-than-expected win over Auburn, but mainly because Texas is on a more noticable and proven roll right now.
2 Texas Longhorns See Georgia comments on why they could be #1 next week. I also saw them play in person @ Baylor and they steamrolled us.
3 Michigan Wolverines #3 just sits right for me. Not too far down, but also not too far up. Perfect amount of hype I guess.
4 Washington Huskies Very impressed by Washington but easily interchangable with tOSU for me. But if they played head-to-head I could definitely see a likely scenario where Washington pulls out the win.
5 Ohio State Buckeyes See Washington comments
6 Florida State Seminoles That was close against Clemson... but I have a feeling they'll be just fine this week given that they won't have to play. USC could still jump up or even Penn State.
7 USC Trojans
8 Penn State Nittany Lions I like them (platonically)
9 Alabama Crimson Tide Swung back in the right direction a little with that win over Ole Miss, but will need to do more than that. It's key not to hold the loss to Texas over their heads too much but they still need to put in the work.
10 Oregon Ducks Prime time!
11 Utah Utes Good defense, meh offense. But could get better!
12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Interchangable with #11 Utah. If they win big against Duke they could hope Oregon and Utah assuming no major movement up the list.
13 LSU Tigers Brian Kelly is out of hibernation it seems
14 Oklahoma Sooners Pretty solid team in the Big XIV.
15 Washington State Cougars Nice win over Oregon St.!
16 Duke Blue Devils Happy to see them getting Gameday. Next week will be a big game for #12 Notre Dame.
17 Ole Miss Rebels Not the outcome they were hoping for against Alabama but still a good team. Not a higher than #17 good team though.
18 Oregon State Beavers
19 North Carolina Tar Heels
20 Tennessee Volunteers
21 Miami Hurricanes
22 Florida Gators
23 Kansas State Wildcats
24 Kansas Jayhawks
25 Maryland Terrapins
