133112 Ballot for 2024 Week 12
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 10, 2024, 1:16 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Same as last week. From now on, unless a team drops or moves up significantly, I'm not going to provide a reason. I think my poll's rationale of mostly record-based ranking, now that everyone has played a decent sample of games, is starting to show its merit.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 2 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
|
| 3 |
BYU Cougars
|
|

Tennessee Volunteers

|
| 11 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 12 |
Washington State Cougars
|
|
| 13 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Strong win over LSU, combined with losses from those above lifts the Crimson Tide up. |
| 14 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
And one of those losses was the, in my opinion, fradulent Miami. |
| 15 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
|
| 16 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
|
| 17 |
UNLV Rebels
|
UNLV benefits from losses above them. |
| 18 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
|
| 19 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 20 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Clemson re-enters the poll, with a strong record, and chance to contend for the ACC title. |
| 21 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
Yikes, Pitt, UVA? Come on. |
| 22 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
|
| 23 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
A strong win over Georgia puts the Rebels back in the polls... |
| 24 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
And knocks down the Bulldogs. |
| 25 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
Colorado enters the poll, with a steadily created record, and a chance to skyrocket further if they don't drop that many more games. |
