Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Jan. 8, 2024, 10:51 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Final poll of the year, see y'all next year, my descriptions are the team I had there week 0, and my reaction to my predictions. Next 5 out in preseason was Kansas State (Good), UTSA (OK), Kansas (Good), Troy (Good), and Duke (OK), actual next 5 out is Oregon State, Tulane, James Madison, West Virginia, and North Carolina
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan Wolverines | Georgia, Miss, I only hit on 1/4 playoff teams |
2 | Washington Huskies | Michigan, Hit, how long until the NCAA claims it never happened? |
3 | Texas Longhorns | Ohio State, Miss, only because they lost to Michigan, and an OSU season cannot be a success without beating Michigan |
4 | Alabama Crimson Tide | USC, Bad Miss, that defense is bad bad. |
5 | Georgia Bulldogs | LSU, Meh, not the 5th best team in the country but they weren't bad |
6 | Florida State Seminoles | Alabama, Hit, I thought they would be worse honestly, come on up to Madison and have ourselves a game |
7 | Oregon Ducks | Clemson, Miss, they just weren't that good honestly |
8 | Arizona Wildcats | Penn State, Meh, Allar failed to impress but the team was good otherwise |
9 | Missouri Tigers | Florida State, Hit, should've had them over LSU |
10 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Washington, Too Low, finished national runner ups, not a bad guess but could've been higher |
11 | Ole Miss Rebels | North Carolina, Miss, North Carolina fell apart in the second half of the season? I'm shocked! Week 8 I had them at 8 and called them playoff contenders, they then lost to Virginia and fell to 23 in my poll. |
12 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Texas, Too Low, still not back, despite that last drive |
13 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Oregon, Hit, Bo Nix can sling the rock, and when I say sling the rock I mean throw checkdown passes really well. |
14 | Oklahoma Sooners | Tulane, Miss, Really thought they would repeat as the G5 rep, instead they blew it and stupid Liberty took the spot |
15 | LSU Tigers | Oregon State, Miss, fell off in the second half of the season |
16 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Tennessee, Hit, they come in at 17 in my final poll, as close as they get |
17 | Tennessee Volunteers | Notre Dame, Hit, was close with this one too, they only moved up so much because every other mid team lost. |
18 | Iowa Hawkeyes | Utah, Miss, actual playoff contenders with a real QB |
19 | SMU Mustangs | Wisconsin, Miss, My Badgers were mediocre, but did make a bowl game |
20 | Kansas State Wildcats | TCU, Bad Miss, turns out when 15+ players are drafted or graduate, the team suffers |
21 | NC State Wolfpack | South Carolina, Bad Miss, probably my worst pick, I thought Rattler would keep the momentum up from last year, instead Beamer ball dies again |
22 | Clemson Tigers | Iowa, Hit, they got worse on offense, but improved record wise, a confusing team |
23 | Louisville Cardinals | Boise State, Meh, finished 8-6 but won their conference after firing their coach midseason, not bad all around |
24 | Kansas Jayhawks | Texas Tech, Miss, why did this team have preseason hype? |
25 | Liberty Flames | Ole Miss, Too Low, the Rebs might be title contenders with everyone back, and Judkins is going to Ohio State I hate everything. See you next year. |
