broyo209 Ballot for 2024 Week 9

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 20, 2024, 11:01 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Guts

Rank Team Reason
1 Oregon Ducks Demolished Purdue by 35, and with Texas losing, it's only logical to have them #1. Next up: Illinois
2 Miami Hurricanes Cam Ward continues to be the best QB on the country in a shootout v Louisville, and Miami capitalize on a Penn State bye week. Next up: FSU
3 Penn State Nittany Lions Bye week. Next up: Wisconsin
4 Ohio State Buckeyes Bye week. Next up: Nebraska
5 BYU Cougars Close win over OkSt, wasn't very convincing. Next up: UCF
6 Indiana Hoosiers Dominates a low-quality Nebraska, would be higher but they lack strength of schedule. Next up: Washington
7 Iowa State Cyclones Close win over UCF. Next up: bye week
8 Tennessee Volunteers Good win over bama, but they lost to Arkansas earlier in the season, and Alabama haven't proved to be a great team this year. Next up: bye week
9 Illinois Fighting Illini Impressive over Michigan, only allowing seven points. Real contender for the B1G championship with IU, OSU, Oregon, and PSU. Next up: Oregon
10 Georgia Bulldogs Very impressive win over Texas, but Bama's losses make their former "quality loss" a bad one. Next up: bye week
11 Navy Midshipmen Remain undefeated by way of a great passing attack (!?) and two pick-sixes v Charlotte. No strength of schedule though. Next up: Notre Dame
12 Pittsburgh Panthers Able to hold off Cal by two, which is as unconvincing as all their other results this season. Next up: Syracuse
13 Texas Longhorns Lost to a UGA team that's lost to Bama. Not a good look. Next up: Vandy
14 Army West Point Beat ECU, but allowed too many points to be ranked higher. Next up: bye week
15 Boise State Broncos Bye week. Next up: UNLV
16 SMU Mustangs Handles Stanford. Next up: Duke
17 Clemson Tigers Beat UVA as expected. Next up: bye week
18 Kansas State Wildcats Doesn't allow hope of an upset v WVU. Next up: Kansas
19 LSU Tigers Have a poor loss v USC early in the season, but also have a good win v Ole Miss. Can't be faulted for their win v Arkansas. Next up: Texas A&M
20 Texas A&M Aggies Narrow victory over MSU. Next up: LSU
21 Missouri Tigers Not a particularly impressive win over Auburn. Next up: Bama
22 Ole Miss Rebels Bye week. Next up: Oklahoma
23 Vanderbilt Commodores May have lost to Georgia St, may have only beat Ball St by ten, but they beat Bama, so who cares. Next up Texas:
24 Duke Blue Devils Congrats on beating FSU for the first time in a very long time. However, they had a bad loss to GTech. Next up: SMU
25 Alabama Crimson Tide HAHAAHHA. I only ranked Bama to laugh at them. Next up: Mizzou
