daredassdude Ballot for 2024 Week 12
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 10, 2024, 12:41 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Win-Loss Record, Head-to-head, Common Opponents, Off and Def Efficiency
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Undisputed best team in the country, only undefeated team with a Top 10 victory |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Only loss to the #1 team. Only 1-loss team with a Top 5 victory |
| 3 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Over Indiana. Common Opp: Michigan (31-12 AWAY) |
| 4 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Under Texas. Common Opp: Michigan (20-15 HOME). #2 Scoring Offense, #7 Scoring Defense. Best efficiency stats of all teams. |
| 5 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Under Indiana for their #43 Scoring Offense, compared to IU at #2. Above BYU for blowing out lesser teams |
| 6 |
BYU Cougars
|
Under Penn State for coming close vs 2 of the bottom Big XII teams and for top-heavy, bottom-heavy schedule. 2 ranked wins, but 4 wins over the bottom 4 Big XII teams |
| 7 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Similar mediocre resume compared to BYU, but BYU's win over K-State edged Tennessee. Wins over 4 of the bottom 5 SEC teams and a loss to the 11th best SEC team. But their win over Alabama gives them a better resume than Notre Dame. |
| 8 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Best 2-loss team. 4 wins over teams in my Top 25 (UGA, LSU, SC, MIZ). Under Tennessee bc of the H2H. |
| 9 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Wins over Georgia and S Carolina, #5 Scoring Offense, #6 Scoring Defense |
| 10 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Notre Dame is up this high despite a lackluster resume, with their two best wins being ranked LOU and GT, is because of their scoring efficiency. #12 Scoring Offense, #3 Scoring Defense. Better than Tennessee and Georgia and nearly the same as Ohio State. |
| 11 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
#48 Scoring Offense, #15 Scoring Defense |
| 12 |
Miami Hurricanes
