Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 2, 2023, 9:52 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Strength of record with injuries and performance factored in
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Dominant in win over Nebraska. Very effective at controlling the tempo of the game. |
| 2 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Strong wins continue. One better half against Wyoming is what is keeping them from the #1 spot. |
| 3 |
Washington Huskies
|
No weaknesses shown yet, but I don't know if I trust them without facing some tougher tests. |
| 4 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Still undefeated but a team that attacks early could be their undoing. Start strong and contain Bowers, that could lead to an upset. |
| 5 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Not fully sold on McCord but they are a well-rounded team. The defense has played very well. |
| 6 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
I am very optimistic, especially because the defensive line looks scary, but I can't put them above OSU without a win in two weeks. Receivers need to step up as a group. |
| 7 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Playing strong, this week will be the biggest test so far. |
| 8 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Good play from the Irish, should be able to win out. |
| 9 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Older wins aren't looking too great now, undefeated but with some glaring weaknesses on defense. |
| 10 |
USC Trojans
|
Their defense is nothing but a glaring weakness. |
| 11 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Huge game this week, excited to see both teams coming in hot for the matchup. |
| 12 |
Washington State Cougars
|
Undefeated and looking solid. |
| 13 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
Last second field goal is the only thing separating them and WSU. |
| 14 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
They should be better than they have shown. |
| 15 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
Should continue winning for a bit. |
| 16 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Beat LSU in a gutty win and played hard against Alabama. |
| 17 |
Utah Utes
|
Got exposed against the Beavers. |
| 18 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Still undefeated, need a statement win at UNC next week. |
| 19 |
Maryland Terrapins
|
Undefeated with healthy margins on the scoreboard. |
| 20 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Quietly cruising undefeated. |
| 21 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
Strong win this week for Kentucky. |
| 22 |
Duke Blue Devils
|
I would have them around 12 or 13 if not for their QB being injured for a few weeks. |
| 23 |
Fresno State Bulldogs
|
Started the year slow but have found their stride. |
| 24 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Undefeated. Ranked |
| 25 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Lost by 3 to Mizzou. Should win handily this week. |
