MPotato23 Ballot for 2024 Week 9
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 20, 2024, 2:49 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Idk, just who I think is good
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
I mean, this team is good. By default, they have to be #1 (although it seems cursed so far). Unless they drop the Illinois or Michigan game, I can't see this team outside of #1 for the rest of the season. Can they win the Big 10 though? We'll see. |
| 2 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
This team has looked very good this year, but slow first halves could kill them in a game like Ohio State. Can Franklin beat Ohio State since the magical 2016 game? If so, Penn State is a bone-a-fide Natty contender. |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Would be #1 is Will didn't slide early. Still been an incredibly good year in Columbus. The Penn State game is crucial - a loss could sting hard and a win could ring loud. Still, this team is a national contender. |
| 4 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
After losing to Bama, Georgia is back in the conversation after a win against Texas. This is the weakest Georgia program in a while, but that is like having a weak McLaren - you still have a McLaren. |
| 5 |
Texas Longhorns
|
This team is still looking good, although an ugly game against Georgia hurts their ranking. Maybe don't throw your trash on the field next time. |
| 6 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Clemson has just handled each game this year. The Georgia loss hampered them early, but they may be back now. Time will tell. |
| 7 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
After dropping 50+ in their first three games, I thought this Tennessee team was here to stay. Oklahoma was a bit iffy, but losing to Arkansas has put a damper on this team. They did handle business against Alabama, however, hence their placing here. |
| 8 |
LSU Tigers
|
I hate putting LSU this high, but I think I have to. They have essentially killed Ole Miss's season, however, and handly defeated Arkansas. We'll see how they land with a tough next two weeks against A&M and Bama. If they get two wins here, LSU could be back. |
