SlaminSammons Ballot for 2023 Week 6

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 1, 2023, 9:24 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Pretty quiet week overall.

Rank Team Reason
1 Texas Longhorns Texas continues to roll. Sure KU is without their QB, but they did what they need to do. Nothing to knock here.
2 Washington Huskies Weird shit happens in the desert at night. This was a clear Pac-12 after dark contender and Washington had a two score lead at the end of of the 4th.
3 Penn State Nittany Lions Terrible 1st half, but great resolve to blow them out in the 2nd half. Didn't allow Northwestern stay in the game like other teams around them.
4 Florida State Seminoles The LSU win doesn't look quite as good as it did. Bye week. No real change outside of that.
5 Michigan Wolverines Oh thank god Michigan finally looked VERY dominant. This was the first game I didn't feel like they were just coasting along.
6 Georgia Bulldogs I've had it with Georgia. They're playing down to competition on the regular and they're going to get bit soon. Talent wise keeps them up here, but resume would have them lower in my mind.
7 Oregon Ducks Slept walk through the first quarter. Became the team they are later. If they played that way the whole game that's a 56-0 game.
8 Ohio State Buckeyes Bye week. No real change. Notre Dame beat a good Duke team on the road. Vindicated
9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish That's a gritty win after a heartbreaker. Hartman is just such a winner, just waiting on the consistency. Have so many tough games ahead.
10 Oklahoma Sooners I was really doubting Oklahoma at the start of the year. They really look like the OU of old now though.
11 USC Trojans USC didnt shoot themselves in the foot. CU did. The D scares the hell outta me and allowing a massive comeback is a red flag.
12 Alabama Crimson Tide The Tide for the first time in weeks looked far more talented than the other team. Passing game is still a concern, but the run game is there. Need to keep leaning on that.
13 Washington State Cougars Cougs move up on a bye because of the Oregon State win against Utah.
14 Miami Hurricanes Bye week. Move up because other teams dropping.
15 Oregon State Beavers Beavs crushed the Utes. Utah honestly is pretty rough on offense, so hard to move the Beavs too much.
16 Duke Blue Devils I am heartbroken for Riley Leonard. That game was theirs to have and now they may have lot their QB. Just sad.
17 North Carolina Tar Heels Bye week.
18 Kansas State Wildcats Bye week.
19 Kentucky Wildcats Blowout against an overrated team. Love to see this as Kentucky has been under the radar. They have a real shot against UGA next week.
20 Missouri Tigers Mizzou won comfortably. 5-0 and looking good.
21 Utah Utes The D keeps Utah in the top 25. But holy god they need Cam Rising back. This is one of the worst offenses in the country.
22 Maryland Terrapins Terps have a massive game coming up. They've looked really solid and are under the radar.
23 Fresno State Bulldogs Kinda slept walked through that. I'm not gonna knock a double digit win for them, but they should beat Nevada by 30+
24 Louisville Cardinals Won a nail biter with a comeback. 5-0 but still need to be dominant against someone.
25 Air Force Falcons Another dominant win for the Falcons. I want them to play a better team, but they look good so far and won't ding them for that.
