Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 28, 2024, 12:48 p.m.
Overall Rationale: I try to rank based mostly off performance, with light weighting put into team talent/preseason expectations. As the season goes on, preseason expectations for a team will be considered less and less. I do not take into account injuries
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oregon Ducks | Oregon dominates this week to solidify their #1 spot |
2 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Penn state looked okay this week, they will stay at #2 |
3 | Georgia Bulldogs | BYE |
4 | Miami Hurricanes | Miami looked fine agaist a weak FSU squad. They don't move from last week |
5 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Ohio St survives against a decent Nebraska team. I still think they look better than Texas so they stay at 5. |
6 | Indiana Hoosiers | Indiana with another big win and stays undefeated. I will leap frog them all the way to 6. They look like a contender. |
7 | Iowa State Cyclones | BYE |
8 | Texas Longhorns | I've moved Texas back a few spots after barely surviving Vandy. Looking at their resume, they do not have any big wins compared to teams in front of them |
9 | Clemson Tigers | BYE |
10 | BYU Cougars | BYU survives. I move them up to 10 as their are undefeated |
11 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | A big win over Navy, they move up 2 spots |
12 | Texas A&M Aggies | A big win over LSU moves up TAMU 2 spots. They stay behind ND, their only loss |
13 | Tennessee Volunteers | Tenn loses the bye week moving back. BYU moved ahead for being an undefeated P4, and ND and TAMU just look better than Tenn at the moment |
14 | Pittsburgh Panthers | Pitt has the weakest schedule of the P4 undefeated teams, so I have them here, moved up 2 spots. |
15 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Bama destroys Missouri, but there isn't much going on in front of them to move up |
16 | Boise State Broncos | Boise State barely escapes against a decent UNLV team |
17 | SMU Mustangs | SMU wins by 1 against Duke |
18 | Kansas State Wildcats | K state survives the rivalry game against KU who is better than their record |
19 | LSU Tigers | LSU moves back to 19 with the loss to TAMU |
20 | Army West Point | Army stays undefeated |
21 | Washington State Cougars | WSU moves up after a narrow win |
22 | Ole Miss Rebels | Ole Miss gets an okay win against a struggling OU squad |
23 | Colorado Buffaloes | Colorado enters the top 25 with a decent resume. |
24 | Illinois Fighting Illini | Despite a big loss to Oregon, Illinois stays in the top 25 |
25 | Missouri Tigers | I really want to drop Missouri, but no one seems to deserve this #25 spot. I also considered Navy, Louisiana, Memphis, and all 2 loss P4 teams. |
