133112 Ballot for 2024 Week 5

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 22, 2024, 11:55 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Same as Last Week

Rank Team Reason
1 Tennessee Volunteers Beating teams that were previously ranked gets you big points with me, much more than beating a ULM or a Marshall(see teams 10-15)! #1 for the Vols!
2 Alabama Crimson Tide Alabama is the victim of inactivity, but nothing too penalizing.
3 Utah Utes Exciting game gets the Utes into the top three!
4 Illinois Fighting Illini Same as above, plus, great defense, and Altmeyer is looking good! I'm very impressed by the Illini.
5 Missouri Tigers Well...let's hope for Mizzou's sake that Vandy is actually good. Still top 5, though.
6 Ole Miss Rebels It should be mandatory for P4 teams to schedule two of their non-conference games against each other, and the other against a good G5 team.
7 Georgia Bulldogs Victim of not playing(and having only beat Kentucky 13-12)
8 Miami Hurricanes Impressive win, over a not bad USF team! Puts Miami at #8.
9 Oregon Ducks Refer to #7.
10 Texas Longhorns Texas...come on. Schedule games I want to watch.
11 Indiana Hoosiers See #10
12 Ohio State Buckeyes See #10
13 Penn State Nittany Lions See #10
14 Iowa State Cyclones See #10
15 BYU Cougars Wow, knocking Kansas St. out, and landing themselves high up on the ladder! Way to go, BYU!
16 Washington State Cougars Wazzu deserved to lose that game after not immediately deciding to kick it, but I guess SJSU wanted to lose more.
17 Louisville Cardinals Being undefeated, especially when it means beating real teams, gets you major benefits!
18 Pittsburgh Panthers Play real teams, Pitt, but other teams losing will raise you up quite a bit.
19 UNLV Rebels Still undefeated!
20 Duke Blue Devils Duke fans must be having a GREAT weekend.
21 James Madison Dukes Damn. Thought that was the basketball score from last year's game against Wisconsin for a minute(I'm still salty, but congrats).
22 Rutgers Scarlet Knights Beating an ACC team, and staying undefeated? Alright, Rutgers, way to go!
23 Navy Midshipmen Navy being 4-0 feels surprising, and gets them ranked!
24 Army West Point Same as above.
25 Liberty Flames I hate giving Liberty credit, but they are 4-0, so they're in the top 25!
