Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 28, 2023, 9:30 a.m.
Overall Rationale: SOS/quality of win or loss/a tinge of "inertia" (i.e. how much they're improving or regressing) = the formula. As always, each five teams represents a single "tier", of which the teams are further organized in said tiers
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
As always, impervious to bee stings... |
| 2 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
They are three wins away from inducing /r/CFB 9/11... |
| 3 |
Washington Huskies
|
Granted, FSU looked mildly BETTER this WEEK...but when you consider a WHOLE SEASON... |
| 4 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
They gotta thank (future fellow SEC member?) Kentucky for buttering up their opponent for the next game... |
| 5 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Can these Ducks get revenge on Friday night? They could...but will they? |
| 6 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Praying for some Louisville Redbirds to pave a way for these cows... |
| 7 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
To admit, I think it wouldn't be outlandish to say that Ohio State can beat BOTH Texas and Alabama...but for once, I'd rather NOT have any non-conference champions qualify for the Top 4...so yeah, tough loss, but that's life... |
| 8 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
An amazing, insane win? Of course! But needing to convert a miracle 4th & 31 to beat Auburn IS a bit of a red flag...would be fun chaos if they win though. |
| 9 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Are they better than Penn State? Perhaps, perhaps not. Would they win in a neutral site game? Well, I can't say that it IS a guaranteed victory... But hey, it was a good win, and I think I can invoke the homerism card JUST this once... |
| 10 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
There still remains much to respect about these Happy Valley Felines! |
| 11 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
VERY often said to be the Penn State of the SEC - but you know...PSU's losses to Michigan and Ohio State aren't as bad as their losses to Alabama and Georgia... |
| 12 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Shockingly enough, the Big 12 WON'T be decided by the two teams that will be leaving them! Well, not the BOTH of them, at least... |
| 13 |
Arizona Wildcats
|
Would've been playing in Vegas had divisions still been a thing...but oh well. What a great second half regardless! |
| 14 |
LSU Tigers
|
Perhaps hoping for an alltime performance from the Washington defense to improve Jaylon's Heisman odds? |
| 15 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
THE most favored you were to beat Kentucky in YEARS...and that happens. I feel ya...shit sucks doesn't it? |
| 16 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
A Thin Green Wave separates Tulane from the ensuring G5 NY6 anarchy that would occur in the event of them losing to SMU... |
| 17 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Gave the Pac-12 Network what it perhaps deserved in its final ever football game... |
| 18 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Can they get Caitlin in as QB for Saturday? Because the Deacon may be forced into an premature holy day of rest, like a ferret in a bathtub... |
| 19 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Are TWO shockingly AWFUL losses against South Alabama and UCF away from being potential Playoff contenders...such are the adventures of Gundy and his wacky Pokes squad... |
| 20 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
A football coach decided to jerk off during a phone call. This ruins the entire state of Corvallis athletics as a result... |
| 21 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
TOOK 'EM A WHILE, BUT THE PACK IS AGAIN THE BEST TEAM IN THE STATE AROOOOO |
| 22 |
Liberty Flames
|
The king of the C-USA Chaos...but can they stave off one last attempt of a kill by Kill? |
| 23 |
Toledo Rockets
|
Candle lights the flame for these Rockets to launch! But can Chuck and his flock of RedHawks create disaster in Detroit? |
| 24 |
James Madison Dukes
|
I may have knocked them out of my Top 25...but hey, gotta give credit to Clemson for allowing BOTH James Madison AND Jacksonville State a chance to bowl! |
| 25 |
SMU Mustangs
|
One more game of AACtion before they swap out the second adenine or another cytosine (I am melting my brain studying for Genetics)... |
