Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 23, 2023, 12:28 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Reranked every week so if a team drops on a bye it is more that others proved their ranking more than a team dropped (think a team beating a 1-loss team versus one beating a 1-win team). More points for beating top teams, minimal points for beating FCS (though woe to who loses to them). Computer poll influences the poll but human still wins. Willing to carry over good will from past seasons until it's proven wrong.

• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Michigan Wolverines	Lacking signature wins, but dominant. Their worst showing was 52-7 over Indiana
2	Ohio State Buckeyes	Two signature wins, with one being tight. My computer ranks the Penn State as the best of any victories this season.
3	Georgia Bulldogs	Defending 2x Champ getting that nod but they only have 1 decent win. We shall see
4	Oklahoma Sooners	Close win is still a win and my computer ranks like UCF
5	Florida State Seminoles	Tough game with Duke but pulled away
6	Washington Huskies	Reranking lower after barely surviving a 1-win team
7	Penn State Nittany Lions	Putting at 7 because I’d likely favor them over any team below
8	Alabama Crimson Tide
9	Texas Longhorns
10	Utah Utes
11	Oregon State Beavers
12	Oregon Ducks	Loss and a struggle drops them down a bit.
13	Ole Miss Rebels
14	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
15	LSU Tigers
16	Air Force Falcons
17	Missouri Tigers
18	Louisville Cardinals	Last time I ranked the Ville they were beat... not sure it's wise for them if I put them back
19	Tulane Green Wave
20	Tennessee Volunteers
21	Duke Blue Devils	Someone heal that ankle
22	North Carolina Tar Heels
23	James Madison Dukes	RANK JMU YOU COWARDS -- Fine, sheesh, calm down.
24	Toledo Rockets	2 points from undefeated
25	Liberty Flames
