Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 17, 2024, 1:32 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Well...what a week. Not our biggest yet in terms of teams dropping out and going up(that would be Week 7), but still quite a week! Rationale is still "Same as last week", but I think I'll provide a refresher on what that means. Additionally, I will continue not to comment on a team unless there has been a significant change, or I feel a comment is warranted. Primarily based off record and win quality, with previous/preseason team ranking, conference, and loss quality also minor factors. For conferences, I tend to favor teams in the P5 heavily, with the order in which I currently have the conferences ranked being as follows: B1G, XII, SEC, ACC, PAC, MWC, American, SBC, CUSA(Unranked Conferences on the year not included in these rankings yet)
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks

Braedyn Locke will be in my nightmares tonight. |

|
| 3 |
Army West Point

| 6 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 7 |
Boise State Broncos
|
|
| 8 |

| 9 |

Close loss for the Cougars sends them far down the order. |
| 10 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 11 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Due to Georgia's win, the SEC has had a lot of falls today, as the quality of wins changes. But Texas stays even. |

Texas A&M Aggies
|
|
| 13 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
|
| 14 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 15 |
UNLV Rebels
|
|
| 16 |
Arizona State Sun Devils

Arizona State's impressive record and decent resume result in them skyrocketing up to #16 in the nation. |
| 17 |
Clemson Tigers
|
|
| 18 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
|
| 19 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|

Big loss. |

Colorado Buffaloes
|
|
| 23 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
I liked Navy a lot, and although their skid has kicked them out of the top 10, and the polls overall, it's a team I respect beating. |
| 24 |
Washington State Cougars
|
Ouch. And you were about to enter the top 10 too. |
| 25 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
And the reason ASU skyrockets is their destruction of KSU. |
