Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Nov. 27, 2023, 2:21 a.m.

Overall Rationale: See other polls

Rank Team Reason
1 Michigan Wolverines Dominant win over now #7 Ohio State catapults them to the top due to the quality of the win. Up next #19 Iowa in the B1G Championship game.
2 Florida State Seminoles Stumbling and injured, Florida State finds a way to make Florida shoot itself. Up next a rivalry game against big loser, #22 Louisville.
3 Georgia Bulldogs Beats Georgia Tech in less than dominant fashion. The meh schedule keeps them here, as they move to face #8 Alabama in the SEC championship game.
4 Washington Huskies Rock fight in rivalry moves the Huskies down. Up next a rematch against #5 Oregon to try to prove the haters wrong.
5 Oregon Ducks Dominant destruction of poor Oregon State. Up next #4 Washington in an attempt to prove that home field advantage was all that determined the first game.
6 Texas Longhorns Annihilation of Texas Tech. Up next Oklahoma State in the Big XII championship game.
7 Ohio State Buckeyes Defeated by #1 Michigan, Ohio State hopes to have the resume to get in over the other 1-loss teams.
8 Alabama Crimson Tide Sloppy game by Alabama against the destroyed by C-USA championship bound (#27) New Mexico State Aggies, Auburn. Barely snatches a win to try to win improbably against #3 Georgia.
9 Liberty Flames Dismantles UTEP. Up next a rematch against a hot (#27) New Mexico State team in the C-USA championship game with a NY6 bowl likely on the line.
10 Tulane Green Wave Return to form against UTSA. Up next #21 SMU in a classic ACC vs SEC match-up... wait no the AAC championship game. My bad. Should be a great game!
11 Missouri Tigers Rests after murdering Arkansas.
12 James Madison Dukes JMU is banned from the SBC championship game. A bowl awaits though!
13 Toledo Rockets Solid win over CMU. Up next a battle for the MAC championship against the clear best 2-loss team, the Miami (OH) redhawks (I don't understand why it loves them so much).
14 Miami (OH) RedHawks Barely escapes... Ball State. Still survives at the top of the two losses through unknown mechanisms.
15 Troy Trojans Time to go for the SBC championship against App State.
16 Penn State Nittany Lions Rests because James Franklin can't win big games.
17 Ole Miss Rebels Rest for an SEC team after the Egg Bowl.
18 Oklahoma Sooners Rest and a reminder to not drop a rivalry game.
19 Iowa Hawkeyes Terrible football by both as Iowa stumbles into the B1G championship against #1 Michigan.
20 Arizona Wildcats Won rivalry and rests because they forgot to play Fafita earlier in the season.
21 SMU Mustangs Plays #10 Tulane for the AAC title.
22 Louisville Cardinals Terrible loss to Kentucky plummets them down. No good win for FSU should they win the ACC championship.
23 Memphis Tigers Rests as a solid 3 loss. Honestly surprised this team that took Mizzou down to the wire doesn't get more love after quality losses to the best the AAC has to offer. All losses are to ranked teams (#10 Tulane, #11 Mizzou and #21 SMU, all extremely close). Underrated really.
24 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Notre Dame climbs back in as the other 3-losses finally fall enough.
25 NC State Wolfpack NCSU continues a fabulous resurgence by telling UNC to go to hell. SCREW LSU, still #26.
