ChBass Ballot for 2024 Week 11

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Nov. 3, 2024, 6:54 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Performance is compared to teams' opponent's oppoents' performance, with adjustments for quality wins/losses.

Rank Team Reason
1 Oregon Ducks Play great, get the big wins, get #1.
2 Ohio State Buckeyes Play great, get almost all the big wins, get #2.
3 Indiana Hoosiers Play great, but your biggest wins are Washington & Nebraska, get #3.
4 Georgia Bulldogs Play gr- and the running joke breaks down here. Georgia's running game is not top-tier.
5 Miami Hurricanes Neihter is Miami's running game... or passing defense... or scoring defense...
6 Penn State Nittany Lions The loss to Ohio State doesn't hurt, but the biggest win being USC does.
7 BYU Cougars Your marquee win losing to Houston doesn't hurt if you're the only undefeated team left in the Big 12.
8 Texas Longhorns It'll take another week or two to work off the Georgia loss.
9 Boise State Broncos Run run run, win win win. Next week, the Oregon loss will be worked off.
10 Tennessee Volunteers The Arkansas loss will be worked off next week, too.
11 Army West Point Run run run, win win win. Eventually you'll have to play someone harder than East Carolina, but that's not today!
12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Do you remember these guys lost to Northern Illinois? The spreadsheet remembers...
13 Iowa State Cyclones Someone finally went and picked the peach.
14 Pittsburgh Panthers The loss to SMU can be worked off in a week or so.
15 SMU Mustangs "Why are they below Pitt? Are you stupid?" They lost to BYU and their marquee win is Louisville. Chill.
16 Washington State Cougars Let the stock on that Washington win appreciate and the loss to Boise State look more reasonable.
17 LSU Tigers Now the loss to A&M looks worse. Beating Bama next week would get half of it back.
18 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns I'm just as surprised as you. But mediocre offense, good pass defense, one loss to Tulane... sure. Take #18.
19 Alabama Crimson Tide A win against LSU would get them half of the way back recovered.
20 Texas A&M Aggies The SC loss hurts more than the ND loss.
21 Ole Miss Rebels If wins and losses didn't matter, this would be a Top 5 team. They can pass, they can score, they can stop the run, and stop you from scoring... but they don't win.
22 Iowa Hawkeyes The Iowa State loss looks worse now, but not as bad as the Michigan State loss.
23 Oklahoma Sooners You get no credit for beating the best college football team in Maine [citation needed].
24 Arizona State Sun Devils Two losses, but the top win is Kansas.
25 Clemson Tigers Bro... you were supposed to skate to the champ game and clip Miami! Instead, you barely beat out Mizzou for the last spot.
