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. |
2 | Indiana Hoosiers | |
3 | Army West Point | |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
5 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
6 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
7 | Boise State Broncos | |
8 | SMU Mustangs | |
9 | BYU Cougars | 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. |
12 | 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 win! |
20 | Ole Miss Rebels | |
21 | Tennessee Volunteers | Big loss. |
22 | 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. |
