FlashSpider-man Ballot for 2023 Week 15 & Bowls
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Dec. 3, 2023, 7:31 a.m.
Overall Rationale: My opinion, mostly. Bias: I go to Tamu and grew up an ASU fan. I try to base off results, not preconceived talent, though I can fall for it. Trying to put a weight on wins, though it can be hard in some cases. And I don't know g5, so I am only gonna put them of they make something the week before. I may be weird with them. Feel free to @ me on reddit, I'd love to talk about it.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Washington Huskies
|
They have 4 wins against current top 25 teams. Their sixth hardest game of the year was probably harder than Michigan's fourth. Michigan may have smoked teams but they were bad teams on an easy schedule. Even Iowa got smoked by Penn State. Their lauded d couldn't stop the Nittany Lion offense from scoring 31. No, UW deserved the top spot. |
| 2 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 3 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Undefeated p5 champ. Way to go. Plus, aren't they gonna get their backup back? 3 seed locked down. |
| 4 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Ugh. But people are right. I may not like it but they beat Bama. For the sake of the sport, they should make it. Otherwise, teams will only schedule easy ooc games, which isn't fun for us. I know Bama is a very different team now than at the start of the season, but it's too late and the head to head sticks out. |

They look so bad. As a 10 win p5 team, I don't think I can put them lower. So congrats to winning a division of basically g5 teams. Your entire conference only has, like, 3 legitimate teams this year. Of all the p5 conferences, the middle of the B1G is the worst. At least it'll be better next year :( idk I'll miss the Pac. |

Oklahoma State Cowboys

Got smoked but their good wins and making the conference champ keeps them here. |
