Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 6, 2024, 10:54 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Same as always
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Staying undefeated is difficult, especially with a B1G schedule! Penn State stays up there! Same rationale for all top 12 teams! |
2 | Indiana Hoosiers | |
3 | Oregon Ducks | |
4 | Iowa State Cyclones | |
5 | BYU Cougars | |
6 | Texas Longhorns | |
7 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
8 | Navy Midshipmen | |
9 | Army West Point | |
10 | Pittsburgh Panthers | |
11 | Liberty Flames | |
12 | Miami Hurricanes | Miami. Let's not pretend you deserved that win. I'm forced by my own rules to keep you at the top, but you're on the thinnest of ice. |
13 | Illinois Fighting Illini | A tough schedule, and a team seemingly surviving it thus far. You're not supposed to beat #1. |
14 | Kansas State Wildcats | See above. |
15 | Utah Utes | Again, tough schedule, only loss to a top 10 team. |
16 | Boise State Broncos | See above. |
17 | SMU Mustangs | See above. |
18 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Oh. Alabama. What happened. |
19 | Arizona State Sun Devils | Only one loss as well to a fellow ranked team. |
20 | Georgia Bulldogs | Quality loss ain't as quality now. |
21 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | The Irish are climbing the ranks again! |
22 | Washington State Cougars | And with the Broncos go the Cougs... |
23 | Texas A&M Aggies | And with the Irish go the Aggies... |
24 | Texas Tech Red Raiders | And with the Cougs go the Raiders... |
25 | LSU Tigers | USC isn't as nice of a loss now, but it's still not horrible. Good enough to be ranked. |
