romulusjsp Ballot for 2024 Week 3
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 9, 2024, 11:36 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Vaguely defined mixture of a hypothetical head-to-head and résumé. Still very early in the season for me to put too much thought into ranking teams in a serious manner.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
(-) #1 until proven otherwise. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
(+1) |
| 3 |
Texas Longhorns
|
(+2) What a win |
| 4 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
(-) Never in doubt, hard-fought win over a hated rival |
| 5 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
(+1) |
| 6 |
Missouri Tigers
|
(+1) |
| 7 |
Utah Utes
|
(+1) Shameless homer ranking, everyone do 50 of whatever the ex-Mormon equivalent of a Hail Mary is for Cam's hand (I think it's just drinking an overpriced beer in the mountains but I am open to feedback about this) |
| 8 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
(+1) Three Big XII teams remain tied at the hip, fittingly all three struggled against inferior opponents but won on Saturday |
| 9 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
(+1) See above |
| 10 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
(+1) Rebs continue to have sauce |
| 11 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
(+1) The first half of their game should be illegal. I mean seriously what the fuck |
| 12 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
(+5) Idk man the rest of these rankings are a bit of a mess, I don't really have faith in the Canes, but can't really justify putting anyone else this high |
| 13 |
Washington Huskies
|
(+6) See above, why not |
| 14 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
(+7) Gotta put em somewhere |
| 15 |
Oregon Ducks
|
(-1) Most sauceless good team ever |
| 16 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
(-1) Brother ewww, very lucky not to be moving down further but I can't justify ranking anyone else this high |
| 17 |
Boston College Eagles
|
(NR) Probably should have been ranked previously, but I have no idea how to evaluate the FSU win at this point |
| 18 |
Arizona Wildcats
|
(-) |
| 19 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
(-17) Big drop is partly because of the loss, partly recalibrating because they were previously overranked at #2. |
| 20 |
Northern Illinois Huskies
|
(NR) Hell yeah |
| 21 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
(-8) Heaven no |
| 22 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
(NR) Hell yeah |
| 23 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
(NR) Hell yeah |
| 24 |
Nebraska Cornhuskers
|
(NR) Hell yeah |
| 25 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
(NR) Hell yeah // DROPPED OUT: Kansas, Georgia Tech, James Madison, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland |
