sleemoislife Ballot for 2023 Week 12
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 12, 2023, 1:25 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, never in doubt, score does not indicate how unclose this game was |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
no movement, almost gave UGA the nod this week as no 1, but with umich's solid performance on the road I'm still keeping them up there. Think it's clear these are the two best programs in cfb 1a and 1b situation hope they meet in the playoff |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
no movement, OSpoo beats MSpoo as expected |
| 4 |
Washington Huskies
|
+1, BIG PENIX ENERGY |
| 5 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
-1, I hold a deep mistrust towards the acc at this point |
| 6 |
Oregon Ducks
|
no movement, duck, duck, no goose egg against a flailing USC team, excited to see who takes the pac between ducks and huskies |
| 7 |
Texas Longhorns
|
no movement, still very much a playoff contender but gotta play a full game c'mon yall |
| 8 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
no movement, bama's just hanging around, UGA v. Bama titled locked... |

|

| 13 |
