Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 26, 2024, 9:39 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Every five teams makes up one tier, for a total of five tiers that are further organized within.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 3 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 4 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 5 |
Boise State Broncos
|
Maybe TOO high? Idk...I guess so...but the UNLV win + Oregon loss doesn't hurt either... |
| 6 |
SMU Mustangs
|
|
| 7 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
I guess it doesn't feel TOO off to warrant a "quality loss" argument? I mean, I guess it's a bit hypocritical to criticize when SEC teams/Notre Dame use this excuse, but then permit for the Hoosiers here... |
| 8 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
...but then again, I guess you shouldn't lose to a just-ok G5 team at home...or take on an additional conference loss either... |
| 9 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 10 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 11 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Sorry, I STILL don't think Miami has done enough to warrant a ranking OVER SMU...but at least the Hurricanes have the power to change that... |
| 12 |
Arizona State Sun Devils
|
|
| 13 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
That Georgia win must be quite the padding, huh? |
| 14 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
Fuck it...I think SCAR's wins and losses are generally better than those of Clemson's... |
| 15 |
Clemson Tigers
|
...even though I still won't put the Tigers THAT far behind... |
| 16 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
|
| 17 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 18 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
Rebs would probably beat them H2H on a neutral-field...but then again, I'd argue that the Wave's losses are "quality" enough (considering the teams they lost to, and the fact that the Kansas State game REALLY was an unlucky one) to warrant being ABOVE them... |
| 19 |
UNLV Rebels
|
...but thankfully, UNLV has the ability to try and get revenge on Boise, provided they take care of business this Saturday... |
| 20 |
BYU Cougars
|
Probably shielded from an even WORSE drop by the fact that they beat SMU in Dallas...so it's helpful... |
| 21 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
|
| 22 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
|
| 23 |
Missouri Tigers
|
teehee! |
| 24 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
Maybe I'm being rather generous in keeping them here? A drop was necessary...but since they're not exactly OUT...it's not the end of the world for the Buffs... |
| 25 |
Army West Point
|
Maybe I'm being rather generous in keeping them here? Idk...there is still the chance to bounce back by beating Tulane... |
