Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 10, 2024, 1:41 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Next teams out are Pitt, Missouri, Iowa State, Louisiana, Memphis, Duke, and Navy
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Still obvious number 1 |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
1 second away from being #1, possibly |
| 3 |
Texas Longhorns
|
When do they start playing hard teams? |
| 4 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
If they beat Ohio State I will rank them #1. |
| 5 |
BYU Cougars
|
Sip some chocolate milk and calm down, you're fine |
| 6 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Good, great even, not elite |
| 7 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Surely all those injuries aren't of concern! |
| 8 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
NIU beat Western Michigan, they are 5-4, this is your weekly NIU update |
| 9 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Finally |
| 10 |
Boise State Broncos
|
They would beat Alabama, so they are above Alabama |
| 11 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Beck is awful, but you've heard that enough this week |
| 12 |
SMU Mustangs
|
Just don't lose, what a strategy |
| 13 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
I think I might've moved Bama down, I don't look at my last week poll, so if I did, I'm not sorry |
| 14 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
How did they lose to Kentucky? |
| 15 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
BYE |
| 16 |
Washington State Cougars
|
Might be the quietest 8-1 team in the country, either them or Louisiana |
| 17 |
Army West Point
|
14-3 score? Bad. 12 minute drive? Good. |
| 18 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
They beat Colorado, they must be ranked higher |
| 19 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
How did they lose to Nebraska, legit top 10 team if they didn't lose that |
| 20 |
Clemson Tigers
|
OK win |
| 21 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
I realized I have Louisville under Clemson, I will not change this |
| 22 |
Arizona State Sun Devils
|
No good wins, but no bad losses, evens out I guess |
| 23 |
LSU Tigers
|
I don't really WANT to rank the 6-3 SEC team, but the quality wins push them over other teams, applies to South Carolina as well |
| 24 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
"JEKYLL, JEKYLL HYDE, JEKYLL HYDE, HYDE, JEKYLL, JEKYLL, JEKYLL HYDE, JEKYLL HYYYYYDE!" to quote the late great Brain from Arthur |
| 25 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
Missouri and Pitt both occupied this spot until I remembered Tulane beat Louisiana, who is 8-1 on the year, so they get the nod |
