Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 27, 2023, 9:09 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Resume based ballot utilizing MoV, SoR, SoS primarily with small amounts of eye-test involved when comparing similar bodies of work.
| Rank | Team | Reason | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Michigan Wolverines | Excellent win and excellent MoV in most games | 
| 2 |  Georgia Bulldogs | Washington and UGA could be in any order in 2 and 3 | 
| 3 |  Washington Huskies | Washington and UGA could be in any order in 2 and 3 | 
| 4 |  Florida State Seminoles | Undefeated; not punished by injured QB, but least impressive of the undefeateds | 
| 5 |  Ohio State Buckeyes | Unfortunate loss against UM, but still have the best resume of the 1 loss teams. | 
| 6 |  Oregon Ducks | Excellent MoV against decent teams and finally a good win against OSU | 
| 7 |  Texas Longhorns | Win over bama looks better every week, but similar to UW and UGA is kinda just hanging in against several teams | 
| 8 |  Alabama Crimson Tide | Rivalry voodoo, or a return to form for the less than elite bama team this year. Still, crazy comeback. H2H loss against Texas keeps them below UT unless they beat UGA. | 
| 9 |  Penn State Nittany Lions | 2 losses against 2 top 5 teams and excellent MoV elsewhere. | 
| 10 |  Missouri Tigers | |
| 11 |  Ole Miss Rebels | |
| 12 |  Oklahoma Sooners | |
| 13 |  Arizona Wildcats | This team could have been special if they switched to Fifita earlier in the year. | 
| 14 |  Iowa Hawkeyes | only 2 losses, but one of them against a not so amazing school; offense is literally non-existent. | 
| 15 |  Louisville Cardinals | |
| 16 |  Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
| 17 |  LSU Tigers | Basically what USC wishes they were. | 
| 18 |  Tulane Green Wave | |
| 19 |  Oregon State Beavers | All but one of the losses were extremely close; not sure if im giving too much credit for that, this team could be moved up or down 3 spots. | 
| 20 |  Oklahoma State Cowboys | 45-3 UCF game absolutely hurts this teams resume. | 
| 21 |  Toledo Rockets | |
| 22 |  NC State Wolfpack | |
| 23 |  Liberty Flames | |
| 24 |  SMU Mustangs | |
| 25 |  James Madison Dukes |
