Real_TSwany Ballot for 2024 Week 12

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 11, 2024, 9:19 p.m.

Overall Rationale: SwanMetrics primary factors are head-to-head, strength of record, eye test, and "whether or not I think this team would beat that team" (so basically, simulated head to head).

Rank Team Reason
1 Oregon Ducks Duh.
2 Ohio State Buckeyes Ohio State has looked more and more impressive—especially on defense—ever since their reality check against Nebraska two weeks ago.
3 Indiana Hoosiers While undefeated, the Hoosiers' strength of schedule leaves something to be desired when compared to their conference mates. Regardless, 10-0 is beyond impressive for a program like Indiana's.
4 BYU Cougars Barring a legendary slip-up, BYU has the top Big 12 spot under wraps. They remain the conference's only undefeated team.
5 Tennessee Volunteers Somehow the top team in the SEC.
6 Penn State Nittany Lions
7 Texas Longhorns
8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
9 Boise State Broncos Jeanty.
10 Alabama Crimson Tide Alabama has continued to bounce back from its rough patch, trouncing LSU in a game that was, frankly, over before it started.
11 Ole Miss Rebels Head-to-head win over Georgia and same/better record ranks them above the Bulldogs.
12 Georgia Bulldogs Whoops. The SEC championship matchup could bounce a plethora of different ways, but Carson Beck and the Bulldogs may have screwed themselves this week in falling handily to the Rebs.
13 SMU Mustangs
14 Texas A&M Aggies
15 Miami Hurricanes Miami has been teetering on a nosedive for weeks. This one is self explanatory.
16 Clemson Tigers Clemson still has one of the worst strengths of schedule in the Power 4, but their win over Virginia Tech was more impressive than most.
17 Washington State Cougars
18 Army West Point
19 Tulane Green Wave
20 Arizona State Sun Devils
21 UNLV Rebels
22 Missouri Tigers
23 LSU Tigers
24 Colorado Buffaloes
25 Iowa State Cyclones
