Pikachu1989 Ballot for 2023 Week 8
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 15, 2023, 3:01 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Alright, what a weekend of Football we had this week, starting off with a crazy collapse of a former ranked team in Colorado on Friday Night, but we saw some upsets on Saturday as well. First off was Washington beating Oregon in a Top 10 Matchup up in the PNW. Then we saw North Carolina jump into the Top 10 thanks to a beating from Miami and they knew to kneel down. USC went into Notre Dame and they left with a drop in the polls from #10 down to #19 and thus Notre Dame came in to a nice bounce back win after last weeks loss to Louisville. Louisville couldn’t sustain the win from Notre Dame last week and thus dropped down to #23. Air Force debuts in the polls by staying undefeated and is #20. Iowa despite the best works of Brian Ferentz, found its way back into the poll thanks to the defense carrying the way. We’re getting to the meat of the conference schedules and it’s gonna be a fun ride as the season progresses here.
