MainPeanut25 Ballot for 2023 Week 15 & Bowls
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Dec. 4, 2023, 6:17 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Mostly strength of schedule and eye test
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Lock, undefeated B1G champ |
| 2 |
Washington Huskies
|
Lock, undefeated PAC-12 champ |
| 3 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Biggest snub in CFP history, they looked bad but they are undefeated ACC champs. Rodemaker would have started anyways, so the third-string argument is irrelevant |
| 4 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Beat Alabama at Tuscaloosa and they romped Oklahoma State (Big 12 champs) |
| 5 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Great win over Georgia, but lost the head to head vs. Texas. Didn’t matter to the Playoff Committee I guess, plz beat TTUN (SEC champs) |
| 6 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Too many great teams this year, had to beat Bama and didn’t |
| 7 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
There’s always next year…Beat Missouri |
| 8 |
Oregon Ducks
|
First two-loss team, the great teams end here, and any expanded playoff should end here too |
| 9 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Not a team to be taken lightly, don’t want a repeat of the 2021 Rose Bowl |
| 10 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 11 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 12 |
Arizona Wildcats
|
No way a team like Arizona should be competing for a national championship. Not trying to single them out, this applies to 9–12 and Arizona happens to be my #12 |
| 13 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 14 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Despite the ACC championship loss to a third string true freshman, amazing first season with Brohm |
