GatorBolt Ballot for 2023 Week 7

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 9, 2023, 12:02 p.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs Just an absolute clinical performance against Kentucky this past Saturday.
2 Michigan Wolverines Doing what they're supposed to do against the schedule they've had so far. Just a complete team too.
3 Oklahoma Sooners OU has kinda been under the radar this season after their 6-7 year last year, with the schedule not being truly tough yet, and Texas getting most of the spotlight. . They have announced themselves in the Cotton Bowl now though. And based on resume's they're one of my biggest movers.
4 Ohio State Buckeyes Turned out to be a solid win over Maryland. Still have reservations but they keep winning.
5 Florida State Seminoles Solid win pulling away the second half against VT and they did what they needed to do.
6 Washington Huskies Hope they enjoyed the bye, they need the rest for this week and I cannot wait for that game.
7 Oregon Ducks See Washington's description.
8 Texas Longhorns Didn't want to move them down too much over losing a very competitive rivalry game, and that Bama win still buoys them okay.
9 Penn State Nittany Lions Under the radar quite a bit. And they have a game against UMass to warm up for their big showdown with Ohio State
10 Alabama Crimson Tide Solid road win against Texas A&M.
11 Louisville Cardinals I had no clue what to make of Louisville before Saturday, but they have announced themselves now. A deserved huge bump up in the rankings due to their great effort in beating ND and snapping their ACC streak.
12 North Carolina Tar Heels Just a very impressive beatdown of Syracuse.
13 USC Trojans I don't have them top ten and I feel bad having them this high. I feel like the CFB world and I are beating a dead horse by bringing up the defense but...
14 Ole Miss Rebels They rose due to other teams taking Ls. Still, only loss being at Alabama isn't the end of the world.
15 Washington State Cougars Not a far drop due to how much shake up there was in this range. But alas the PAC 12 Cannibalization has begun.
16 Oregon State Beavers Nice win over Cal, now a big game against UCLA looms.
17 Utah Utes The UCLA win got more impressive this week, and now a good opportunity against Cal awaits.
18 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Just a tough loss I have to say. I still think they're good enough to be ranked. But the missed opportunities against Ohio State and how flat they played at Louisville has to sting.
19 Duke Blue Devils Good timing for a bye week.
20 UCLA Bruins Easy decision to re-rank UCLA after an impressive win against Wazzu.
21 Kansas Jayhawks Decided to rerank them due to how impressed I was with their performance against UCF and their one loss is forgivable.
22 Maryland Terrapins With other teams dropping out I decided to keep Maryland ranked for a competitive game at Ohio State.
23 Kentucky Wildcats I kept Kentucky ranked due to other teams losing and at the end of their day their one loss was at my #1 team.
24 Wyoming Cowboys Impressive win against Fresno, and now the Pokes are the favorites for the G5 NY6 berth.
25 Air Force Falcons With other teams losing I just wanted to give Air Force some love before their huge game against Wyoming.
