Ballot Type: Human
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. |
