GatorBolt Ballot for 2023 Week 13

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 19, 2023, 2:05 p.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs Another week, another clinical performance. What else is there to say?
2 Michigan Wolverines Little tougher against Maryland but they hold serve again.
3 Ohio State Buckeyes Dominant win over Minnesota. Now next week is what it's all about.
4 Washington Huskies Gutsy win on the road in Corvallis. Now the Apple Cup awaits.
5 Florida State Seminoles Just absolutely gutted for Jordan Travis.
6 Oregon Ducks Dominant win against ASU, nothing else to add on that front. Intriguing game next week against Oregon State though.
7 Texas Longhorns The Horns avoided any Ames voodoo. And now Texas Tech awaits.
8 Alabama Crimson Tide Took care of business during November Cupcake Week. But counterpoint it isn't always cupcake week as a certain rival of the Tide found out this weekend.
9 Louisville Cardinals They survive a thrilling game in Miami, and now the Cardinals will play for the ACC Title. While the Pitt loss makes any playoff bid a longshot without a lot of help, Jeff Brohm is my coach of the year. Taking Louisville to a conference title game year one is impressive.
10 Missouri Tigers Unfortunately they gutted out a win against my Gators. Now only Arkansas stands between them and a NY6 Bowl.
11 Oklahoma Sooners Tough win against BYU but in the end they got the job done.
12 Penn State Nittany Lions Took care of business against Rutgers, and now they go for the Land Grant Trophy.
13 Ole Miss Rebels Well they played ULM in one of the games of all time. Now, my personal favorite Non-Florida rivalry in the Egg Bowl awaits. Don't just throw out the records, throw out any sense of how football should work when Ole Miss and Mississippi State get together.
14 LSU Tigers Georgia State provided a nice backdrop for Jayden Daniels to continue to make his Heisman case.
15 Oregon State Beavers Don't want to slide them too much. But man what a heartbreaker.
16 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Just a dominant win against Sam Hartman's former school. And next, ND plays Stanford in the swan song of the Pac-12 network. While I lament the Pac-12's Death, the P12 Network is the end of an error.
17 Arizona Wildcats Just an impressive beatdown of Utah, and out of nowhere they still have a snowball's chance of playing for the Pac 12 title.
18 Iowa Hawkeyes Iowa steadily climbing up my rankings is a sign of how this football season has gone. Really is poetic that they will be the last Big 10 West Champion though.
19 Liberty Flames Got another win against UMass and now a road test at UTEP awaits.
20 Tulane Green Wave Definitely a lot more of a comfortable win against FAU this week. Now a spicy matchup against UTSA awaits.
21 Oklahoma State Cowboys Good way to rebound against Houston. And now BYU stands between them and a possible B12 Title Game Berth. One of the more perplexing seasons I've seen for a P5 team.
22 Kansas State Wildcats Gutsy win in the Sunflower Showdown.
23 James Madison Dukes Pain.
24 Toledo Rockets With a lot of 4 loss teams in this part of the rankings, I'll give some love to Toledo. Oh, so close to getting a buy game win early on but they have been the class of the MAC. And they are very much lurking in the G5 NY6 bowl race.
25 UNLV Rebels A lot of options for 25, but I wanted to give a shoutout to UNLV. Just a great turnaround for their program and now they are in the MWC driver's seat.
