KJdkaslknv Ballot for 2024 Week 8

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 14, 2024, 12:27 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Wins matter. Undefeated teams always get the benefit of the doubt. Head-to-head is most important, and I try to not rank a team above a team they lost to, where I'm able to do so. Example: Bama beat Georgia, but lost to Vandy. Bama must be below the undefeated teams, but must be ahead of Georgia. Since Vandy has too many losses to be included in the poll, Bama necessarily must be above Vandy, though I don't feel good about it. Strength of schedule is a stupid argument and I will not entertain it.

Rank Team Reason
1 Oregon Ducks 6-0
2 Texas Longhorns 6-0
3 Penn State Nittany Lions 6-0

5 Iowa State Cyclones 6-0
