CallingUagoatUgoat Ballot for 2023 Week 6

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 1, 2023, 6:48 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Wins earn a team points. Losses lose points. How many points earned/lost is dependent on the quality of a team's opponent (both at the time you played them and currently).

Rank Team Reason
1 Texas Longhorns 1 SP+ T-10 win. Jumped FSU simply because they've played one more game (extra data point).
2 Florida State Seminoles 2 SP+ T-25 wins.
3 Missouri Tigers 1 SP+ T-25 win. Slight advantage over Wazzu because of the extra data point.
4 Washington State Cougars 2 SP+ T-25 wins.
5 Ohio State Buckeyes T-5. 1 SP+ T-10 win. Tied with Washington and Oklahoma - tie breaks decided by SP+ ranking.
6 Washington Huskies T-5. 0 SP+ T-25 wins.
7 Oklahoma Sooners T-5. 0 SP+ T-25 wins.
8 North Carolina Tar Heels 0 SP+ T-25 wins. OU has the advantage with the extra data point.
9 Alabama Crimson Tide 1 SP+ T-25 win, 1 SP+ T-10 loss. Average FBS opponent SP+ rank - 62.2 (not including Texas loss - 77)
10 Georgia Bulldogs T-10. 0 SP+ T-25 wins. Average FBS opponent SP+ rank - 78.5. Plays their first SP+ T-25 game this week vs. Kentucky.
11 Ole Miss Rebels T-10. 1 SP+ T-25 win, 1 SP+ T-10 loss. Up 24 spots after big win over LSU.
12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish T-12. 0 SP+ T-25 wins, 1 SP+ T-10 loss.
13 Texas A&M Aggies T-12. 0 SP+ T-25 wins, 1 SP+ T-25 loss.
14 Utah Utes T-12. 1 SP+ T-25 win, 1 SP+ T-25 loss. Drops 11 spots after loss to Oregon State.
15 Penn State Nittany Lions T-15. 0 SP+ T-25 wins. Iowa win + WVU win = Miami's win over Texas A&M (Penn State has a virtual advantage due to the extra data point).
16 Miami Hurricanes T-15. 1 SP+ T-25 win.
17 Duke Blue Devils T-15. 1 SP+ T-25 win, 1 SP+ T-25 loss. Drops 10 spots after loss to ND.
18 Michigan Wolverines T-18. 0 SP+ T-25 wins. Average FBS opponent SP+ rank - 93.6. The Wolverines are undefeated against one of the weakest schedules to this point in the season. It doesn't look like they'll meet a team with a pulse until Week 11.
19 USC Trojans T-18. 0 SP+ T-25 wins. Average FBS opponent SP+ rank - 95.4. Similar to Michigan, USC hasn't really played anyone, at least not according to SP+. They get back-to-back games against ND and Utah in Weeks 7 and 8.
20 Oregon Ducks T-18. 0 SP+ T-25 wins. Average FBS opponent SP+ rank - 82. Similar to Michigan and USC, Oregon's schedule is very weak overall. They'll get their opportunity to show they are the class of the nation when they get Washington, Wazzu, and Utah back-to-back-to-back starting in Week 7.
21 West Virginia Mountaineers 0 SP+ T-25 wins, 1 SP+ T-25 loss. A very quiet 4-1. Texas Tech win + TCU win + PSU loss > UK's wins over Ball State, Akron, and Vandy.
22 Kentucky Wildcats 0 SP+ T-25 wins.
23 Louisville Cardinals T-23. 0 SP+ T-25 wins. Louisville and the next six teams (MD, AF, Fresno, Liberty, and JMU) are all tied for 23rd. Each are undefeated against a bunch of lower tier FBS teams plus the standard FCS win.
24 Maryland Terrapins T-23.
25 Air Force Falcons T-23.
