Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 6, 2024, 2:26 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Same as before, swap plus SCF. In this case the SCF is pretty garbage at first order and I really need to start running higher order as the season goes on. Most importantly, I need to accept a longer deadline to prevent to allow proper challenges.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
BYU Cougars
|
The Cougars are no doubt the top of the food chain (/s). After the murderers rest, Arizona looms. |
| 2 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
Extra points. Undefeated Pitt flexes on the haters after beating the Tar Heels. Up next a dejected Cal. Can they keep doing it? |
| 3 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
More games. Up next a real challenge in #22 Nebraska. |
| 4 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Probably the actual best team in the country, as shown by the highest non-boosted score. Up next overrated OU for a Red River Rivalry game. |
| 5 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Beat up poor Iowa. Up next #13 Oregon. A good test for once! |
| 6 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Beats UCLA in unconvincing fashion. Up next overrated USC. |
| 7 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
Just sitting around. Up next worst of the B1G in Purdue. |
| 8 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
My Cyclones handle Baylor without issue. Up next a great Riot Bowl with a decent WVU. |
| 9 |
Duke Blue Devils
|
Inertia and no SCF keeps them in after that abysmal loss to GT. Not happy about it. Up next... rest. |
| 10 |
Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks
|
Swaps with JMU after the upset. Up next Southern Miss. |
| 11 |
Army West Point
|
Definitively worse than ULM so far. Got to keep up the good wins. Up next UAB. |
| 12 |
Navy Midshipmen
|
Undefeated service academies. Up next CLT. |
| 13 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Convincing win, but not awfully boosting for the algorithm. Up next #5 tOSU for the big test. |
| 14 |
Boise State Broncos
|
Jeanty is him. Up next Hawaii. |
| 15 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Bailed out again. Very saddening. Up next a Louisville that will probably also get f***** in a last minute call and loss to Miami. |
| 16 |
Liberty Flames
|
Finally managed witnessed enough decay in the others to have undefeated mean more. Cancelled game plus bye week will do that. Up next FIU. |
| 17 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
My claims of them being overrated have been vindicated. Love seeing them fall. Up next Florida. |
| 18 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Decided to beat up SCar after last weeks loss. Eh. Up next a maybe overrated LSU? |
| 19 |
Washington State Cougars
|
Bye week. Up next sad Fresno State. |
| 20 |
San José State Spartans
|
Also bye week. Still think they are good. Up next CSU. |
| 21 |
James Madison Dukes
|
Basically just flipped ULM and JMU after last week. Very intriguing. Up next the evil Coastal people. |
| 22 |
Nebraska Cornhuskers
|
Nice win against Rutgers. Up next a ranked match-up against #3 Indiana. Who would've thunk it. |
| 23 |
Rutgers Scarlet Knights
|
Losses against Nebraska in B1G fashion. Up next Wisconsin. |
| 24 |
Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns
|
????? Up next App State. |
| 25 |
Eastern Michigan Eagles
|
??? Up next Miami (OH). (I already know my poll is going to be so stupid just seeing this insane bottom). |
