Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 8, 2023, 3:34 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Trying to go mostly off resume now but some teams still ain't played nobody
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Is one of the few teams that hasn't looked shaky yet this year (+1) |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Another ranked win but that one against Notre Dame looks worse now (+1) |
| 3 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Great win against Texas. Played an awful schedule outside of that though which keeps them from the top spot (+7) |
| 4 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Giving them a slight edge over Georgia because I think the Iowa and Kentucky games are equally impressive and Penn State has fared better against other P5 teams (+0) |
| 5 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Dominated Kentucky but those performances versus South Carolina and Auburn still look bad (+1) |
| 6 |
Washington Huskies
|
Win over Arizona looking a bit better (-1) |
| 7 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Didn't win by as much as they probably should've but at the end of the year it'll hardly matter (+0) |
| 8 |
Oregon Ducks
|
On a bye so not much to say. Big game coming up against Washington that could decide one of the spots for the conference championship (+0) |
| 9 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Prevent never works. Will most likely have a chance for revenge at the end of the year (-8) |
| 10 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
In the top 10 almost by default, still not determined if they're a major contender for the ACC (+2) |
| 11 |
USC Trojans
|
Gets away with it again somehow but this can't continue forever (-2) |
| 12 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Excellent win over Notre Dame and they could be a threat to Florida State if they keep this up (+8) |
| 13 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Another close one versus A&M but they pulled it out (+1) |
| 14 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Close against Arkansas. Only in 14th because of the ridiculous amount of shenanigans that took place behind (+1) |
| 15 |
Washington State Cougars
|
So the next four teams have already managed to form a circle of suck with not much separating them. Washington State gets the top spot with their win over Wisconsin (-4) |
| 16 |
Utah Utes
|
Utah grabs the second with a win over Florida (+8) |
| 17 |
UCLA Bruins
|
And UCLA gets the third due to beating San Diego State by more than what Oregon State did (NR) |
| 18 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
And Oregon State gets the fourth after giving up 40 to Cal (-2) |
| 19 |
Duke Blue Devils
|
Despite all the chaos Duke holds 19th on their bye (+0) |
| 20 |
Maryland Terrapins
|
Fought in the first half but Ohio State pulled away in the second. Still has a very good shot at 9-3 (-3) |
| 21 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Good win over Rutgers puts them back in the top 25 (NR) |
| 22 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Back in the rankings after 5 teams dropped out (NR) |
| 23 |
Air Force Falcons
|
Undefeated and probably the new best G5 team with Fresno State dropping but Wyoming is close behind (NR) |
| 24 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
I hate to rank a 2 loss team so early in the season but they have a win over Duke and the teams behind them have nothing (-11) |
| 25 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
Ranked again after blowing out UCF (NR) Next up(In no particular order): Missouri, Tulane, Liberty, Iowa, BYU, Wyoming, West Virginia, UNLV, Colorado, LSU, JMU, Memphis |
