Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 30, 2023, 3:38 p.m.
Overall Rationale: I rely heavily on Beta Rank and FEI.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan Wolverines | Undisputed top team according to metrics I use. Not considering sign stealing scandal. |
2 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Best defense. Shaky offense with room to grow. |
3 | Oregon Ducks | I’m normally a Debbie downer on my Ducks. But this is potentially the best team they’ve ever fielded. Even though they lost at UW, still played well enough to win but for a coin flip. |
4 | Georgia Bulldogs | Starting to round into shape. |
5 | Florida State Seminoles | Great resume and evenly balanced. Just not overpowering on either side of the ball. |
6 | Washington Huskies | Surprisingly poor play the past few weeks. Still top tier despite recent struggles. A good coach should help remedy this in short order, which they have. |
7 | Oklahoma Sooners | On fraud watch. Turnovers propping them up, which is not reliable. |
8 | Texas Longhorns | If they can survive KState, will move up. |
9 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Just hanging around… |
10 | Ole Miss Rebels | Fun offense. Not much trust in the defense. |
11 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Struggled in their only game against top competition. Still good, but seemingly inflated rank. |
12 | LSU Tigers | Amazing offense. Daniels for Heisman. Defense is doo doo butt. |
13 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | How did they get creamed by Louisville? |
14 | Kansas State Wildcats | Hottest team in the country running into the top team in conference at the right time. |
15 | Missouri Tigers | *shrug* |
16 | Air Force Falcons | USA |
17 | Oregon State Beavers | Desert voodoo comes for everyone. Still a great team. |
18 | UCLA Bruins | Incredible Chip Kelly defense and weak offense, just as we all predicted. |
19 | Utah Utes | Teams have bad games. Still think the defense is strong. |
20 | Tennessee Volunteers | Similar to FSU, relatively strong on either side of the ball. Just nothing that jumps off the stat sheet. |
21 | Tulane Green Wave | Only loss to strong Ole Miss, but they’re on serious fraud watch. |
22 | USC Trojans | How does Alex Grinch still have a job? |
23 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Weird early season losses, but rounding into form at the right time. |
24 | Louisville Cardinals | Propped up by ND win, but has favorable schedule rest of season. |
25 | James Madison Dukes | Weak president - strong football |
