Submitted: Sept. 3, 2024, 6:34 p.m.
Overall Rationale: My opinion after years of watching football.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | Dominant as expected. |
2 | Texas Longhorns | Impressive win over G5 Colorado State. |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Slow start, but an impressive finish. Smith looks like another excellent wide receiver. |
4 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Looks like the Crimson Tide aren't going anywhere. |
5 | Miami Hurricanes | The Canes absolutely shelled the Gators. |
6 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | They went on the road and beat a ranked team, i'm impressed. |
7 | Ole Miss Rebels | The Lane Train rolls on, though I'm skeptical it'll reach its ultimate destination. |
8 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Has Frames Janklin finally figured things out at Penn State? I doubt it, but we'll see. |
9 | Oregon Ducks | Ugly showing against the Vandals, three sacks for the Vandals, almost as many as the Ducks gave up all of last season (5). |
10 | USC Trojans | I'm not super confident in the ability of Lincoln Riley and the Trojans to actually continue this form for the entire season. |
11 | Oklahoma Sooners | The jury's still out on Oklahoma in my opinion, but they won in convincing fashion, so here they are. |
12 | Missouri Tigers | They return a lot from last year and Coach Drinkwitz is a solid coach. |
13 | Clemson Tigers | They're talented, but incomplete... Dabo is both the reason they're talented and the reason they'll never reach the mountain top again. |
14 | LSU Tigers | LOL Brian Kelly is still Brian Kelly. I expect the Tigers to be the offensive powerhouse they were last year... and fall short like they did last year. |
15 | Michigan Wolverines | Michigan is exactly what i'd thought they'd be... flawed on offense, nasty on defense. Davis Warren is the quarterback, he's reasonably accurate, but it remains to be seen if he's a playmaker at all. |
16 | Louisville Cardinals | I believe in coach Jeff Brohm. |
17 | Utah Utes | Utah's gonna win the BIG-12. |
18 | Kansas Jayhawks | Lance Leipold is still a great coach. |
19 | Washington Huskies | Looking good, interested to see where they go from here. |
20 | Kansas State Wildcats | They thrashed UT Martin, interested to see where they go from here. |
21 | Tennessee Volunteers | Their QB's name may be hard to pronounce, but I have a feeling he'll be a household name by November. |
22 | Fresno State Bulldogs | I firmly believe that Fresno State is going to be a contender for the G5 slot in the playoffs. Their offense is underrated, their quarter back is an old fashioned riverboat gambler (which I like), and their defensive line is very physical. |
23 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | They're good enough to be ranked, so here they are. |
24 | North Carolina Tar Heels | Not an impressive win, but a wins a win. |
25 | Rutgers Scarlet Knights | Still think the Scarlet Knights will be a player in the B1G, but we'll see. |
