thealbinotitan1 Ballot for 2024 Week 13

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 17, 2024, 10:11 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Most deserving best teams

Rank Team Reason
1 Oregon Ducks Best team in the country one of the best wins in the country
2 Indiana Hoosiers Undefeated with a big win over Michigan but their real test is this week vs Ohio st and if they don’t get blown out they should be playoff bound
3 Ohio State Buckeyes Ohio st has played really well and has only lost to Oregon by 1 point on the road but need to win this week to keep pace and not get dragged into the 10-2 jam below
4 Texas Longhorns Texas survives and takes revenge on Arkansas and played well enough. Unfortunate they will need to keep winning or they will be on the outside looking in
5 Penn State Nittany Lions Penn st once against proves stereotypes of beating teams they should at this point they have a playoff spot locked and should hope that they can break the stereotypes
6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Good win vs Virginia and has looked good since NIU but they cannot afford to lose again and with army and USC coming up we’ll see
7 SMU Mustangs Acc leaders and have a hope of playoffs and conference championship the first year being in a P4 conference
8 Boise State Broncos Jeanty is hurt and it shows struggling in the first half of San Jose st wasn’t a good look for the future but they did end up wining by 21 which is a good look
9 Alabama Crimson Tide This is the start of the sec circle of suck where it’s really should be a tie but all are good for reasons and bad for reasons but Georgia lsu and Missouri are the best wins in the group
10 Ole Miss Rebels Beat Georgia 2 weeks ago but have bad losses to Kentucky and lsu
11 Georgia Bulldogs Beat Tennessee which puts them ahead but did lose to both the teams ahead
12 Miami Hurricanes Miami hasn’t played anyone and lost to a gt team which isn’t great by any stretch
13 Tennessee Volunteers Lost to Georgia which isn’t horrible but really the loss to Arkansas is
14 BYU Cougars Lost to Kansas with the pooch punt and all. BYU was higher just because of winning but without it they have a slight problem on not being great and barley surviving
15 Army West Point Understand that this week will tell whether army deserves to be in this conversation or not but if they win it’s looking good for their chances
16 Texas A&M Aggies A&M needs to win vs Texas but really they are the worst of the 10-2 SEC teams
17 Colorado Buffaloes Deon finally has their team playing on all cylinders and if with them controlling their path to the big 12 championship game they also control their path to the playoffs and possibly a bye with luck from the acc and mwc
18 Clemson Tigers Clemson is bipolar in that they play really well vs everyone not named Georgia Louisville and Pitt but notice they only won 1 of those games. They need tons of help to increase their ranks and get a chance at the playoffs. But SC playing better and getting ranked has helped
19 South Carolina Gamecocks Their team is solid from front to back but they play a strong schedule and actually could play themselves into a playoff birth with luck
20 Arizona State Sun Devils Slight problem of needing help to make the big 12 championship game and miss st sucking has really hurt Arizona st in the rankings but if they keep winning it will work itself out
21 Tulane Green Wave Tulane is back? But making 3 straight aac championship games is a huge boon to the program and hopefully a positive sign for the future of the program. And watch out if they make it back to a p4 conference because New Orleans is a tough place to pass up playing in
22 Iowa State Cyclones Iowa st has move up despite themselves but Matt Campbell has shown to be a good coach by having Iowa st being a competent team at the traditional bottom feeder
23 UNLV Rebels UNLV and Barry Odom are running pretty well. The go-go offense hasn’t lost a step since Sluka left. But really they keep winning and keep playing really good
24 Illinois Fighting Illini Illinois is turning into Penn st light where they are winning games they should but losing games they shouldn’t
25 Washington State Cougars The loss has killed their chances at the playoffs but it has had a good season considering the circumstances of being left behind
