jalexjsmithj Ballot for 2024 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 4, 2024, 12:42 a.m.

Overall Rationale: In a couple weeks I start my Colley Matrix blended Big 12 biased eye-test journey. But for now it’s 98% bias, 2% accountability. Doing it based only on the most impressive current results (ofc with a tinge of starting from consensus expectations to rank a quality win). Teams with 2 wins will get a heavy nod. Fun exercise to try and judge truly only on resume to this point (more of a ranking of the 25 best wins than the 25 best teams).

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs Clemson win most impressive win this year, truly blowing out a top 15 contender.
2 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 2 wins, including the FSU win, but also took care of biz post travel against a solid GSU.
3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish P5 win on the road against a talented team.
4 USC Trojans P5 win neutral site against a talented team.
5 Miami Hurricanes P5 road blow out of a bad but talented team.
6 Penn State Nittany Lions P5 road blow out of an average team.
7 Boston College Eagles 7&8 were the toughest 2 that I kept flipping in my list. Gave Vandy the nod over BC cuz FSU has 2 losses. But still, a dominant road victory over a talented P5 team. Probably should have them 7th now that I typed this.
8 Vanderbilt Commodores Quality P5 home victory, looked good.
9 North Carolina Tar Heels P5 road victory.
10 TCU Horned Frogs P5 road victory.
11 UNLV Rebels P5 victory.
12 SMU Mustangs 2 victories.
13 Arizona State Sun Devils Very strong G5 win in dominant fashion.
14 Oklahoma State Cowboys Strong home win vs FCS behemoth.
15 Colorado Buffaloes Strong home win vs FCS behemoth.
16 Ole Miss Rebels Was just down right mean.
17 Boise State Broncos Boise going to Southern is a genuinely awesome victory and G5 huge match up, not enough pub here.
18 Tennessee Volunteers Also mean.
19 Auburn Tigers You get the picture.
20 Louisville Cardinals These birds have teeth.
21 North Texas Mean Green Road win at Southern Alabama is genuinely a really strong win, not just cuz I’m scared of USA.
22 Alabama Crimson Tide Good enough.
23 Sam Houston Bearkats Beating Rice in RICE? Let’s goooo
24 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Coastal on the road at Jax state is a genuinely impressive win.
25 Texas Longhorns I guess
