Prof_Pie Ballot for 2023 Week 12

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 14, 2023, 8:29 a.m.

Overall Rationale: General gut feeling and uninformed opinion.

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs 0
2 Michigan Wolverines +1 Yeah Michigan has the harder schedule now, so they take the lead over the Buckeyes at this point.
3 Ohio State Buckeyes -1 Ohio State just doesn't have the harder schedule anymore, so they get edged down to #3.
4 Florida State Seminoles 0 FMFFM
5 Washington Huskies 0
6 Texas Longhorns 0
7 Alabama Crimson Tide 0
8 Oregon Ducks 0
9 Louisville Cardinals +2 The Cards looked decent and they benefit from some chaos to bump them ahead in my poll. Birds still don't have teeth though.
10 Missouri Tigers +6 Demolishing the Vols like that must feel incredible after that close Georgia game.
11 Oregon State Beavers +4 The Beavers are on a roll and benefit from chaos in front of them in the poll as well as a convincing dismantling of Stanford.
12 Oklahoma Sooners +5 I think Oklahoma is more a victim of bad luck and chaos than they are a bad team. Of course, I don't think they'll be able to crack the top 10 again this season. But I do think they're on the snap-back at this point.
13 Penn State Nittany Lions -3 We all believed in you! HOW COULD YOU LET US DOWN!?!?! (As if we aren't use to Penn State teams choking when it matters most)
14 Ole Miss Rebels -5 Ole Miss actually let me down more, since I actually thought they had a chance to pull off the upset. Instead, they got absolutely steamrolled and are now relegated to the mid-teens where they belong.
15 Utah Utes -2 The utes honestly put up a surprisingly good show against the Huskies. I think they have a decent chance of edging into the top 10 depending on the chaos in front of them and how they perform against Arizona.
16 LSU Tigers +2 Way to get it done against the Gators LSU. It's a lil ah win, but a win nonetheless.
17 Tennessee Volunteers -3 Yeah, being Missouri's punching bag probably didn't feel great. At least it wasn't a shutout!
18 James Madison Dukes +5 JMU is hot to trot but sadly their season and our time with the team will come to an end before the postseason. Here's hoping they put on a show and run it up these next few weeks!
19 Notre Dame Fighting Irish +2 They won the Bye week! Thanks, Air Force!
20 Arizona Wildcats -1 Yeah at this part of my poll, you're on thin ice as it is. Almost dropping that Colorado game isn't a great look, but they have an opportunity to rocket up against the Utes soon!
21 Tulane Green Wave +1 Kansas losing works in Tulane's ranking favor!
22 Oklahoma State Cowboys -10 I mean... what is there even to say? How does this even happen? Were you so hungover from the OU win that you just didn't practice for a whole week? Space game is outta this world.
23 Clemson Tigers +2 I hold firm that the Tigers aren't as bad as people think they are and they should be ranked. Yeah, Iowa isn't on this list. Are you really telling me that Iowa offense could score ANYTHING against this Clemson defense in DV? No way.
24 Kansas State Wildcats *NEW* Is Baylor good? No. Did K-state still look good? Yes.
25 North Carolina Tar Heels *NEW* UNC is on hella thin ice with me, but that was a gritty and hard-fought win against a Duke team that looked really good in that game. So they edge out Iowa for me.
