Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 27, 2024, 1:04 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Same as last week
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oregon Ducks | Big win over a good Illinois team keeps the Ducks #1. Easy schedule too for the Ducks from here on out, with an...annoying to root for or play against Wisconsin team as their toughest opponent remaining. |
2 | Penn State Nittany Lions | That Wisconsin team sure is annoying to root for. |
3 | Indiana Hoosiers | Indiana is having an unbelievable season, keep it up and stay up in the rankings. |
4 | BYU Cougars | The XII has looked fairly good to me this year, although perhaps cannibalizing itself a little too much. |
5 | Iowa State Cyclones | Kansas State game should sure be fun. |
6 | Army West Point | And then there was one. |
7 | Pittsburgh Panthers | Beating a good Syracuse team soundly is enough to keep Pitt above Miami. |
8 | Miami Hurricanes | Miami is slowly regaining my trust, but I haven't forgotten about VT and Cal just yet! |
9 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Wow. Navy, a team I still think is decent, got smoked. |
10 | Texas A&M Aggies | As we all expected, the SEC's #1 representative this year is A&M. |
11 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Ohio State still has a good number of chances left this year to improve their standing in the rankings, especially with some surprise upsets. |
12 | Georgia Bulldogs | Bye week leaves Georgia stagnant. |
13 | Kansas State Wildcats | And a close unimpressive win leaves Georgia stagnant too. |
14 | Boise State Broncos | Nice win, the Broncos move up one. |
15 | Tennessee Volunteers | As does Tennessee. |
16 | SMU Mustangs | As does SMU. |
17 | Texas Longhorns | Texas is trying to make it back up to the top tier of CFB, time will only tell if they can. |
18 | Navy Midshipmen | Oh. Navy. Ouch. Truly the "mid"shipmen |
19 | Washington State Cougars | Pac-12 back in the top 20! |
20 | Clemson Tigers | Clemson, after a rough first game, is quickly regaining poll positioning. |
21 | LSU Tigers | I'm sorry, LSU, you shouldn't be this low, but my rules are my rules, and records matter. |
22 | Illinois Fighting Illini | Yeah, you lost, but a loss to Oregon is nothing to be ashamed of, the Illini stay top 25. |
23 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Bama slowly climbing up again. |
24 | Syracuse Orange | Despite losing, Syracuse enters the polls again, with a solid record! |
25 | UNLV Rebels | Despite losing, Syra-I mean, UNLV, enters the polls again, with a solid record! |
