Midnight-Mustang Ballot for 2023 Week 7

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 9, 2023, 4:17 p.m.

Overall Rationale: SoS / did you cover

Rank Team Reason
1 Oklahoma Sooners Beating Texas is the best win in college football. A top ten team beating the #1 team makes you the #1 team in my book.
2 Georgia Bulldogs The Kentucky game is the best Georgia has looked since the CFP national championship game.
3 Florida State Seminoles no change
4 Penn State Nittany Lions no change
5 Michigan Wolverines no change
6 Washington Huskies no change
7 Ohio State Buckeyes looked like shit against Maryland
8 Texas Longhorns Lost. Still an elite team, still a top ten team, but need to win out and get revenge on OU to be in the CFP conversation. Burden of proof on Texas.
9 Alabama Crimson Tide Beat arguably their most physical opponent in their toughest remaining environment left (other than the iron bowl). Still have Tennessee, LSU, and Auburn on their schedule, but Bama are doing their best General Sherman impression by slowly burning a path towards Atlanta.
10 Oregon Ducks Oregon moves up 2 spots into the top ten with teams around them faltering.
11 Ole Miss Rebels Very good football team, shaky but solid win over Arkansas.
12 Oregon State Beavers Looks better every week, although I have some questions about their defense. DJ U is Him.
13 Louisville Cardinals Undefeated, HUGE win over Notre Dame.
14 North Carolina Tar Heels Undefeated, made Syracuse look like a MAC team.
15 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Oh Notre Dame. As Josh Pate says, this is a sport of windows-- and this was your window. Just breaks my heart.
16 Duke Blue Devils drop one spot only because of Notre Dame potentially looking like a worse loss and the teams around them moving.
17 UCLA Bruins beat a very good Wazzu team.
18 Washington State Cougars Lost to a very good UCLA team.
19 Kansas Jayhawks beat the doors off UCF-- only loss is to top 10 Texas. Kansas should be ranked.
20 Wyoming Cowboys beat a very good Fresno State team.
21 Tennessee Volunteers no change
22 Utah Utes moved two spots up as teams around them move
23 Miami Hurricanes WTF
24 Kentucky Wildcats Jeez... but that IS the number 2 team in the country.
25 Air Force Falcons Air Force vs Wyoming will decide the Go5 NY6 spot in my opinion.
