Submitted: Sept. 8, 2024, 9:55 p.m.
Overall Rationale: I went to a birthday party for a 100 year old lady I’d never met. She was the sweetest thing, I asked her, “who you got after this weekend?” This is her list and rationale. Some of that story may not be 100% accurate
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | 🥱 |
2 | Texas Longhorns | I hope they lose the next 10 games |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Improvement compared to last week’s performance so I’ll put them back up where they should be |
4 | Miami Hurricanes | Cam Ward looks great, Miami are strong favorites for the ACC |
5 | Alabama Crimson Tide | They escaped USF. For whatever reason the bulls have nearly had yalls number lately. |
6 | Ole Miss Rebels | Jaxson Dart nearly elevates them ahead of Alabama |
7 | Utah Utes | In fairness I haven’t seen anything from the Baylor game, but I am a bit shocked that Utah didn’t score in the second half. |
8 | USC Trojans | Keep embarrassing Michigan next week bc that would be really funny and devalue a win by texas |
9 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Yall dodged a bullet. I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt this time. MAC came to play and yall barely survived. |
10 | Oregon Ducks | Won a close one over a good Boise State team. But I still expect better |
11 | Tennessee Volunteers | A bit less impressive of a win after what we saw last week but nonetheless Tennessee looked good |
12 | Missouri Tigers | Mizzou will look to prove itself over the next two weeks with *checks notes* Boston College and Vanderbilt before *checks notes again* a nice easy stretch with A&M and UMass |
13 | Oklahoma Sooners | I debated dropping them way down but the entire top 25 looked bad so yall were really just par for the course. |
14 | Kansas State Wildcats | Made the comeback, I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt this week. |
15 | Louisville Cardinals | Probably too high but someone has to be here |
16 | Boston College Eagles | Shutting out the school I can’t pronounce isn’t super impressive but better than most this week |
17 | Arizona Wildcats | Pretty shaky, though I know Northern AZ likes to cause yall issues randomly |
18 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Pulled out a W vs Arky. Looks like the third/fourth best XII team at the moment but I’ll enjoy it if they chaotically win |
19 | Vanderbilt Commodores | ANCHOR 😤 DOWN 😤 |
20 | LSU Tigers | This is more a function that everyone else looked just as bad if not worse than reflective of how yall struggled |
21 | Rutgers Scarlet Knights | Rutgers and Indiana have looked good against cupcakes. I’m looking forwards to seeing next week to calibrate Rutgers vs Vanderbilt in the natty at the end of the season. |
22 | Clemson Tigers | Maybe Georgia is just really good |
23 | California Golden Bears | Not really sure who to put here but I do not agree with the AP putting Nebraska here after beating a bad Colorado. So here’s a decent Cal who beat a serviceable Auburn |
24 | Northern Illinois Huskies | MACtion looks like it should be tight this year good luck huskies |
25 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Remember last week when everyone had yall as playoff favorites after beating A&M? Good times. |
