thatoneguyD13 Ballot for 2023 Week 13
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 19, 2023, 12:06 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Expected wins/resume strength, leaning more heavily on the latter as the season progresses. Playoff chances discussed in reasons.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Just needs to beat Alabama to get in to playoff for sure. Even 12-1 non-conference winner would be a likely playoff team. |
| 2 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Win out and in the playoff, likely out with even one loss without some chaos. |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Same as #2 |
| 4 |
Washington Huskies
|
Win out and they're in. One loss Pac-12 winner would also likely be in. |
| 5 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Needs to win out. One loss ACC winner might get in but likely not ahead of any other conference winner or 1-loss Georgia. |
| 6 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Needs to win out. Loss to Oregon State or in Pac-12 title would eliminate them. |
| 7 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Needs to win out. Loss to Tech or in Big 12 title would eliminate them. |
| 8 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Needs to win out. One loss SEC winner would be in, but two losses knocks them out. |
| 9 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Can get in if they win out, but no guarantee they'd jump over the other four Power 5 conference winners. Still in it. |
| 10 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Lowest ranked team with a chance at the playoff IMO. If they win out they're a two-loss Big 12 winner, and with enough chaos could move up. Highly unlikely though. |
| 11 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Good team, but without chance at conference title. No way a two-loss team that doesn't win their conference can get in. All teams below have no shot as well. |
| 12 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 13 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
|
| 14 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 15 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 16 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 17 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 18 |
Arizona Wildcats
|
|
| 19 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Technically could still be a two-loss conference winner. But hard to imagine them jumping up to top four even with win over OSU or Michigan with worst offense in college football. |
| 20 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
|
| 21 |
Liberty Flames
|
|
| 22 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
|
| 23 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
|
| 24 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
|
| 25 |
Utah Utes
|
