Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Dec. 2, 2024, 9:22 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Coincides with my playoff rankings. Obviously means certain teams need to win their conference games but outside of 2 teams, don't think the teams would change
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 2 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 3 |
Texas Longhorns
|
That defense was suffocating. Not that A&M is an explosive offense but only them and ND kept A&M below 14 points this season (A&M is 30ppg team). Offense needs to be consistent to win it all |
| 4 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Say thank you to Ohio St |
| 5 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 6 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Be consistent for once would you? |
| 7 |
SMU Mustangs
|
Unless Clemson murder them, still in with a CCG loss and probably bumps Alabama out in that scenario |
| 8 |
Boise State Broncos
|
|
| 9 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Absolute choke job |
| 10 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
|
| 11 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Best 3 loss team in the country but the format could knock them out (incoming complaints but don't lose 3 games and this is a non-issue) |
| 12 |
Arizona State Sun Devils
|
Maybe the hottest team in the country |
| 13 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
Also might be the hottest team in the country but lost to Bama, firmly keeps you behind them |
| 14 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
Chance to erase 100+ years without a conference title. Still an unbelievable stat |
| 15 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
OSU was already dead guys |
| 16 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 17 |
Memphis Tigers
|
Wishing you didn't lose to Navy right about now I bet |
| 18 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Can back door into a playoff spot, just don't see it |
| 19 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Been calling you out since week 5, writing was on the wall |
| 20 |
UNLV Rebels
|
|
| 21 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
Unfortunately knocked themselves and the American out I think |
| 22 |
Army West Point
|
|
| 23 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
|
| 24 |
Syracuse Orange
|
|
| 25 |
BYU Cougars
