Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 6, 2024, 11:52 a.m.
Overall Rationale: This poll sucked more than last week, I Can't believe who I put at 7. EVERY OTHER TEAM CONSIDERED, IN ORDER: Nebraska, Arizona, Navy, Army, Washington, Illinois, SMU, Liberty, Syracuse, Tulane, and Arkansas
| Rank | Team | Reason | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Texas Longhorns | Thank GOD for #1 and #2 allowing for some consistency, Texas' bye week came at the perfect time, they avoided the chaos of the week and remain at #1 for me | 
| 2 |  Ohio State Buckeyes | A shaky first half can be looked past when the second half looked that much better, Oregon will give us a good game | 
| 3 |  Oregon Ducks | Oregon fell up after beating Michigan State, they probably aren't the 3rd best team in the country, but everyone around them lost, so here they are | 
| 4 |  Penn State Nittany Lions | Same as Oregon, they didn't look great against UCLA, but Bama, Tennessee, and Mizzou all lost so here they are. | 
| 5 |  Miami Hurricanes | Incredible how Alabama lost to Vandy for the first time time in 40 years, and that wasn’t the most embarrassing loss of the day | 
| 6 |  Georgia Bulldogs | So very lucky everyone else lost and people wont see how close that game was | 
| 7 |  Iowa State Cyclones | I Can't Believe It. I keep thinking to myself "This is wrong, X team should be above them" and then I remember they lost to an unranked opponent, something the Cyclones haven't done, I really hope you can keep it up! | 
| 8 |  BYU Cougars | That Kansas State win is doing heavy lifting to this ranking, very good football team, might fall back to earth, like every other top 10 team at some point. | 
| 9 |  Clemson Tigers | Almost to the swath of teams that lost, they fell hard here, I blame them for losing, personally. | 
| 10 |  Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Another ranking I don't like, but they had their bye and rose like 6 spots because of it (I don't look at my previous polls, to avoid inertia) | 
| 11 |  Ole Miss Rebels | Looked much better this week, I then realize the SEC went from 5 top 6 teams to 3 top 10 teams in like 2 weeks. | 
| 12 |  Indiana Hoosiers | Hell yeah | 
| 13 |  Tennessee Volunteers | Loss wasn't as embarrassing as some of the other ones, Tennessee was forced to play real opponents instead of Kent State and this is what happened | 
| 14 |  Alabama Crimson Tide | HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Hope this was insightful! | 
| 15 |  LSU Tigers | They don't deserve to be this high, but again I can't reasonably drop them until they lose, and they didn't lose, so they are the 15th best team in the country for the time being. | 
| 16 |  Boise State Broncos | Jeanty is good at football | 
| 17 |  Texas A&M Aggies | Ok, fine I'll rank the Aggies, ND loss isn't looking terrible and that SEC schedule isn't overly difficult | 
| 18 |  Missouri Tigers | So is Boston College Bad or what? Please win UMass it would be so funny | 
| 19 |  Pittsburgh Panthers | Unlike Army, Navy, and Liberty, Pitt has played opponents with pulses, so they get ranked. | 
| 20 |  Oklahoma Sooners | Good time for a bye | 
| 21 |  Kansas State Wildcats | Good bye timing | 
| 22 |  Utah Utes | How many ways can I say "They had their bye week this week" without repeating myself? | 
| 23 |  Michigan Wolverines | Thanks other UW! | 
| 24 |  USC Trojans | Minnesota isn't good, so down you fall! | 
| 25 |  Vanderbilt Commodores | If Cal didn’t choke a 25 point victory, at home, with college game day hosting, you wouldn’t be here, good job anyway, Dores! |
