gavinw24 Ballot for 2023 Week 7
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 9, 2023, 2:27 p.m.
Overall Rationale: My personal rankings of the best teams, which I've been keeping updating each week. My previous #1 Texas lost, resulting in the next 4 shifting up (PSU, OSU, MICH, WASH). Georgia jumped FSU following their route of Kentucky. Louisville upset what was a top-10 Notre Dame.

| 1 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
#1 Texas lost; PSU was previous #2. Most complete team in college football. |

|
#1 Texas lost; OSU was previous #3. Wins over quality opponents @ ND and vs Maryland. |
| 3 |

|
#1 Texas lost; MICH was previous #4. Hard to properly rank this team until they play a reputable team. |
| 4 |
