Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 8, 2023, 11:29 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Expected wins/resume strength, leaning more heavily on the latter as the season progresses
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Impressive win over Kentucky puts Georgia back on top. |
| 2 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Win over ND weakens a bit, but Maryland is a good team too. |
| 4 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 5 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 6 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Huge win over Texas vaults them into the list of contenders. |
| 7 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
|
| 8 |
Washington Huskies
|
|
| 9 |
USC Trojans
|
Close call against Arizona causes them to drop one spot. |
| 10 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Still one spot ahead of the team they beat. |
| 11 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 12 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
|
| 13 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Very impressive win over ND. Might be #2 team in ACC |
| 14 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 15 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
#15-18 could be in almost any order. Beavers have the best loss (only 3 points on the road to WSU) and arguably the best win (14 points over Utah). Could be convinced to move these around. |
| 16 |
Utah Utes
|
Overall resume is arguably better than Or St, but with head to head loss and no differing results against common opponents, I have them one spot behind. |
| 17 |
UCLA Bruins
|
Win against moves them up a lot. Beating Or St would help even more. |
| 18 |
Washington State Cougars
|
There's an argument for higher, with their wins over Wisconsin and Or St, but I have them here for now. |
| 19 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Two tough losses but also two good wins. Still a very good team. Schedule doesn't get any easier though next week vs USC |
| 20 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 21 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Lost a game vs GT they statistically dominated. Still a good team but schedule gets a lot harder going forward. |
| 22 |
West Virginia Mountaineers
|
Haven't dominated, but have beaten some solid teams and only lost to a legit top 5 one. Big 12 darkhorse? |
| 23 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
|
| 24 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
|
| 25 |
LSU Tigers
|
One of the toughest schedules in football thus far and have handled it fairly well. |
