MrSirPablo Ballot for 2023 Week 8

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 17, 2023, 12:05 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Undefeated P5's get respect, slight nod to past success, SOS & Best wins and eye test

Rank Team Reason
1 Michigan Wolverines avoid fraud status with past B10 titles, handling teams as they should.
2 Georgia Bulldogs not consistently showing the extra gear i believe they should be able to hit
3 Washington Huskies biggest win of the year, Oregon > Texas imo so they are just a hair above oklahoma
4 Oklahoma Sooners second best win with the RRR over Texas, want to see how they handle not being "scrappy underdogs" before any higher
5 Ohio State Buckeyes seen them struggle with physical teams & Kyle McCord has not done anything to show me he's capable of winning a game on his own, best win is a ND team that has looked pedestrian at times
6 Florida State Seminoles Their best wins are not aging tremendously with LSU losing to Ole Miss & Clemson having 2 losses
7 Penn State Nittany Lions Third best team in the big 10 until proven otherwise
8 North Carolina Tar Heels Respect them being undefeated over teams like Oregon or Texas w a loss
9 Oregon Ducks Think losing @ Washington is a better loss than Texas's neutral site but still in home state
10 Texas Longhorns Still think Quinn is too inconsistent, hopefully he passes tough tests down the stretch with the season on the line every week now
11 Alabama Crimson Tide Not the alabama of the past but that is more of a nod to the force that they have been, beat Ole Miss
12 Ole Miss Rebels lost to Bama so cant go higher, impressive offense vs LSU
13 Oregon State Beavers Love DJU and think the Pac 12 is a gauntlet, dont mind the close away loss @ Wazzu
14 Utah Utes Continues to be hard nosed team, lost H2H with Oregon St leaving them at 14
15 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Best two loss team in the country, dominated a less physical USC and played tough schedule
16 USC Trojans Embarrassing performance but still have promise as long as Caleb is taking snaps and Lincoln is calling plays
17 LSU Tigers Fighting w Notre Dame for best 2 loss team, think the team is all around worse but Jayden Daniels is a legit Heisman caliber QB and they could (should) win out
18 Missouri Tigers Need more respect for Luther Burden & coach Eli Drink
19 Duke Blue Devils Not in love with them but beating Clemson will always be a good win and Mike Elko is a fantastic defensive coach. One play away from beating ND and being undefeated
20 Tennessee Volunteers Have to respect only having one loss but I am low on this team, got smashed in the swamp which is a brutal place to play a night game
21 James Madison Dukes RANK JMU! I hate the hesitance to rank undefeateds. anyone with 4-2 UCLA over these guys is a joke.
22 Louisville Cardinals kind of a mickey mouse schedule but I prefer them over a 2 loss team
23 Iowa Hawkeyes Similar to Louisville i think they will coast to a 1 loss season but overall not an impressive coaching job and a lack of talent on the offensive side of the ball
24 Tulane Green Wave Tulane beat the heisman QB last year, competed with OU two years ago, and continue to be a very good G5 team.
25 Air Force Falcons Wyoming is a good win for Air Force. been dominant with the exception of formerly one loss Wyoming.
