Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 6, 2023, 7:41 p.m.
Overall Rationale: My opinion on what the best 25 teams are based on play on the field, record, and talent. Strength of schedule and big wins are also a factor.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
no movement, first test of the year coming up, if you don't count getting caught breaking ncaa rules a test.. still number one for now in my biased poll based purely by play on the field and depth. |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
no movement, good win against solid team. easily could see the number one argument and think UGA is capable of beating anyone |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
no movement, showed some inconsistency again vs rutgers. henderson looked like a beast though |
| 4 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
no movement, not a great game but luckily this team doesn't need to worry about anyone really until the acc title most likely against the cardinals |
| 5 |
Washington Huskies
|
no movement, kicks usc out of the top 25 for the first time under lincoln riley, still at five instead of four, not forgetting about those rough couple weeks over a close usc win |
| 6 |
Oregon Ducks
|
no movement, consensus seems to be ducks best one loss team at the moment and i agree |
| 7 |
Texas Longhorns
|
no movement, texas struggles with the backup almost choking away huge lead vs solid k state team, stays above bama with head to head |
| 8 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
no movement, damn boring week at the top it seems, bama fends off smelly kelly and co. |
| 9 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
no movement, peen state does what peen state does, beats everyone but osu and mich |
| 10 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
+1, creeping into the top ten, uga bouta change that in all likelihood |
| 11 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
+4, Louisville leaping and bounding up everyone's polls I'm sure, I do have some doubts but at this point it's safe to say they're the second best team in the acc, which doesn't necessarily mean much. |
| 12 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
+4, ehhhh the two loss teams between here and tenn I feel pretty indifferent about who is better, so org st over utes with head to head |
| 13 |
Utah Utes
|
+4, Utah over ok st because Utah has quality losses and well, the other osu has one pretty bad one |
| 14 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
+11, huggeee jump for me over Kansas since they both have beaten OU and other osu has head to head over KU |
| 15 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
+5, Kansas over OU bc they beat OU and have the same record |
| 16 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
-6, OU still a decent team, give them credit for tx win and missiouri is good but doesn't have that caliber win |
| 17 |
Missouri Tigers
|
-3, not a big drop with the loss to UGA, still over tenn since tenn has loss to bad fl team |
| 18 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
+1, keep winning and I'll eventually forgive for the fl loss, maybe |
| 19 |
LSU Tigers
|
-7, LSU best three loss team right now, unfortunate to see qb go down |
| 20 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
+3, going up with a loss?! got blessed by teams in front having much worse losses |
| 21 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
-9, big ole drop for the irish, i made the mistake of watching the fourth quarter of this game, no offense from nd |
| 22 |
Arizona Wildcats
|
unranked, welcome! |
| 23 |
James Madison Dukes
|
+1, JMU the dawggss still undefeated lets gooo |
| 24 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
unranked, welcome back Tulane, I'm sorry for ever disrespecting you and dropping you out, welcome back to the irrelevant section of my ranking |
| 25 |
Liberty Flames
|
unranked, wooohooo les go flames ahhhhh |
