Submitted: Nov. 2, 2024, 11:54 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Tiered ranking. Losses first, conference second, with HTH considered when able. P2 > Big 12 ACC > G6 . Notre Dame is somewhere in that mess, depends on vibes I guess. I mean it is a way to make these rankings objective, even though they are super subjective.
| Rank | Team | Reason | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Indiana Hoosiers | Blew out Nebraska who almost got Ohio State who Oregon barely beat. Which means UCLA = Ohio State? LOLZ, no. | 
| 2 |  Oregon Ducks | Ducks are so glad that they do not face a team in the desert. | 
| 3 |  BYU Cougars | Big 12's last hope | 
| 4 |  Miami Hurricanes | Last remaining undefeated ACC team | 
| 5 |  Army West Point | The better Service academy after all | 
| 6 |  Ohio State Buckeyes | Ohio State fans stop being stupid for one week | 
| 7 |  Penn State Nittany Lions | Yeesh, cursed team. But, not out of the playoffs so... | 
| 8 |  Tennessee Volunteers | That was close, but still beat the team that beat Georgia | 
| 9 |  Georgia Bulldogs | Won the HTH over Texas | 
| 10 |  Texas Longhorns | Their rivals may not be that good after all | 
| 11 |  Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Maybe Louisville is their best win now? Shit. | 
| 12 |  Iowa State Cyclones | Still controls own destiny | 
| 13 |  SMU Mustangs | Pony Express is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK | 
| 14 |  Pittsburgh Panthers | Ate Shit, can still make it in the Playoff | 
| 15 |  Boise State Broncos | Best G5 team by far | 
| 16 |  Washington State Cougars | That Aztecs game really showed how far apart these teams are | 
| 17 |  Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns | Can spoil things if Boise State loses somehow | 
| 18 |  Texas A&M Aggies | Ranking the SEC is a headache, so, uh, Aggies on top of the 2 loss group. | 
| 19 |  LSU Tigers | Won more SEC games than those below them, so... | 
| 20 |  Ole Miss Rebels | Got what you wanted, Kiffin | 
| 21 |  Alabama Crimson Tide | LOSE AGAIN PLEASE | 
| 22 |  Missouri Tigers | So many teams have lost too much to keep them out | 
| 23 |  Kansas State Wildcats | Needs Colorado to lose to make the champ game. Yeah, despite winning the HTH. Way to go K-State. | 
| 24 |  Colorado Buffaloes | Can make the Big 12 champ game by winning out and having K-State win out, despite losing to them LOLZ | 
| 25 |  Arizona State Sun Devils | Can make things messy with K-state AND BYU on schedule. CAUSE CHAOS! |
