Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 15, 2023, 1:02 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Based upon my week 7 rankings and what happened over the course of the past week
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Still winning but that game against Vandy was dicey and the Brock Bowers injury is concerning. |
| 2 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
They won, yet it was against an okay Indiana squad |
| 3 |
Washington Huskies
|
Udub is cooking, found a way to win against a super good Oregon squad. They get a couple easy games or maybe trap games before a stretch of tough ranked games. |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
The defense is cooking it up, and the offense is finding a way to make it work without much of a run game. Heading into a big game against Penn St next week |
| 5 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
They got a break after red river. Have a okay schedule post bye. |
| 6 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
They beat up UMass, good job. Next OSU |
| 7 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Beat up Syracuse |
| 8 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Idle beat the bye week |
| 9 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Almost lost the lead to Arkansas but pulled out with a win and in the drivers seat of the SEC West |
| 10 |
Duke Blue Devils
|
Duke won despite Riley Leonard’s absence |
| 11 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Won by 28 against a USC team who I had concerns about but good job Irish |
| 12 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
UNC won against a good Miami team good job Tar Heels |
| 13 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Lost on an unfortunate missed field goal, this team has a tough stretch ahead. |
| 14 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
The beavers are looking good |
| 15 |
Utah Utes
|
The Utes did well against Cal |
| 16 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Good job Tennessee, play like that next week and you might just take down Bama |
| 17 |
USC Trojans
|
Caleb looked like a college quarterback again and tossed 3 interceptions in route to a blowout against them. A tough schedule leaves room for wins or more losses. |
| 18 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
The Rebels were sleeping this weekend |
| 19 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Happy tiger noises |
| 20 |
Air Force Falcons
|
They are in the driver seat for the G5 NY6 bid. |
| 21 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Louisville what happened |
| 22 |
Liberty Flames
|
Flame on Liberty |
| 23 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Iowa looked good on defense and still bad on offense but they are 5-1 so it’s working I guess |
| 24 |
James Madison Dukes
|
The dukes can’t do anything with this undefeated record but the get to be ranked. |
| 25 |
LSU Tigers
|
I’ll bring them back because this offense is outrageous, we shall see if they can keep it up in a few weeks against Alabama |
