ntny Ballot for 2024 Week 7
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 7, 2024, 9:13 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Records & Eye Test. Clean sheet every week, so expect this to be volatile on a week to week basis. I try to reward teams with better records and that have played better competition.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Start of Tier 1 - These teams are all undefeated and pass the eye test or have a good win or two. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 3 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 4 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 5 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 6 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Start of Tier 2 - These are teams that have stubbed their toes but still pass the eye test and/or have a good win or two. There is also BYU & Iowa State who I'm still unsure about but have a couple nice wins and are undefeated. |
