JazzYotesRSL Ballot for 2024 Week 11
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 2, 2024, 11:09 p.m.
Overall Rationale: College football is beautiful chaos, and so is this ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
NC The Ducks keep rolling and have arguably the best win of the year. |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
NC Rivalry games are always dangerous, but the Bulldogs prevail. Can they play a complete game? |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
+1 The Buckeyes completely shut down Penn State’s offense. |
| 4 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
+1 The defense is still not convincing, but the offense should be enough to take Miami to the ACC title game 12-0. |
| 5 |
Texas Longhorns
|
+1 Bye |
| 6 |
BYU Cougars
|
+1 Bye |
| 7 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
+2 The Hoosiers trailed for the first time all season against Michigan State. They appeared to take that personally. |
| 8 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
+3 The offense is still a glaring weakness, but that defense is suffocating. |
| 9 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
+4 Bye |
| 10 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
-7 Penn State didn’t drop this far because they lost to #3 Ohio State. They dropped this far because they looked so lifeless against a top 5 opponent for roughly the 10,000th time under Franklin. |
| 11 |
SMU Mustangs
|
+8 The Mustangs throttled Pitt and now control their own path to the ACC title. |
| 12 |
Boise State Broncos
|
+3 Ashton Jeanty “only” managed 180 all-purpose yards and 2 TDs against SDSU, who was selling out to stop the run. Oh, and Boise won by 32. |
| 13 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
+3 Bye |
| 14 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
-6 A brutal loss for the Cyclones, who couldn’t pull out another last-minute miracle. The good news? You still control your own destiny in the Big XII. |
| 15 |
Clemson Tigers
|
-5 Clemson’s offense shuts down in a big game yet again. A crushing blow to the Tigers’ playoff hopes. |
| 16 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
+5 Dart and the Rebel offense was incredible against Arkansas. Can they manage that level of performance against the Georgia Bulldogs? |
| 17 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
-5 Just like last week, it was a tale of two halves for the Aggies. Unfortunately for A&M, this week they got to play the role of LSU. |
| 18 |
Army West Point
|
+2 A 17 point win over Air Force without your starting QB. Way to avoid the trap game! |
| 19 |
LSU Tigers
|
-1 Bye |
| 20 |
Washington State Cougars
|
+2 Bye |
| 21 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
-7 A gut-wrenching loss to Houston that will all but kill KSU’s playoff dreams. |
| 22 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
+1 Iowa State and Kansas State both lose? Colorado definitely won the bye week. |
| 23 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
-6 There were questions about Pitt’s offense, and SMU lit them up. The Panthers can still have a great season, but an ACC title berth is probably out of the question now. |
| 24 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
NR A huge win for the Cardinals, who came so close against Notre Dame, Miami, and SMU earlier this year. |
| 25 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
NR South Carolina finally gets the big win they’ve been looking for this year. They get to match up with Vandy next week. |
