Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 17, 2024, 11:23 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Each week, I re-rank all teams based on their resumes

Rank Team Reason
1 Oregon Ducks Oregon remains my number 1 team. They are 11-0 with good wins over Ohio State (9-1) and Boise State (9-1). Also have wins over Illinois (7-3), Wisconsin (5-5) and Michigan (5-5)
2 Ohio State Buckeyes Ohio State is 9-1 and has a very nice win over Penn State (9-1). They also have a win over Iowa (6-4). Huge matchup next week with Indiana.
3 Indiana Hoosiers Indiana is 10-0. They play Ohio State next week and could prove they belong at the top of the poll.
4 BYU Cougars BYU is a weird team for me to rank. I think I probably have them overrated based on how good they are. Lost to Kansas this week to drop to 9-1. They do have a really good win over SMU (9-1), though. Also have wins over Kansas State (7-3) and Baylor (6-4)
