Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Dec. 9, 2024, 11:56 p.m.

Overall Rationale: 12 team playoffs baby!!!

Rank Team Reason
1 Oregon Ducks Playoffs! Thank you football gods for James Franklin!
2 Boise State Broncos Playoffs! Thank you football gods for Ashton (Heisman pls) Jeanty!
3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Playoffs! Thank you football gods for not letting that NIU loss drag the Fighting Irish down!...seriously fucking NIU how do you shape up so well after dropping a game to NIU???
4 Georgia Bulldogs Playoffs! Thank you football gods for possibly giving the Bulldogs the Bama 'Hurts to Tua' experience!
5 Texas Longhorns Playoffs! Thank you football gods for such an easy schedule where we can ignore the losses to Georgia!
6 Ohio State Buckeyes Playoffs! Thank you football gods for letting us in despite being unable to beat Michigan or top tier opponents not named Penn State!
7 Penn State Nittany Lions Lmao! Uh, I mean, Playoffs! Thank you football gods for uh ummm not getting our hopes up too high for our first playoff game!
8 Indiana Hoosiers Playoffs! Thank you football gods for such an easy schedule that makes Texas's schedule look like an NFL slate!
9 Tennessee Volunteers Playoffs! Thank you football gods for the "bye" week since trying to win your championship game for a playoff bye is redundant.
10 Arizona State Sun Devils Playoffs! Thank you football gods for Cameron Skattebo and being predicted to finish last in the Big12!
11 Clemson Tigers Playoffs! Thank you football gods for not letting South Carolina sink our season!
12 SMU Mustangs Playoffs! Thank you football gods for the CFB committee not pulling a 2023 FSU and making the correct choice of not punishing a team for playing in a conference championship game while also rewarding a 3 loss team for not playing said game.
13 Iowa State Cyclones 10 wins! The later L's of the season sting and losing your chance at the playoffs stings a bit more, but hold your head high!
14 South Carolina Gamecocks Couldn't even sink Clemson's playoff dreams smh. Now don't disappoint us for your 2025 season Gamecocks
15 Miami Hurricanes Maybe get more talent outside of renting a top tier QB for 1 season. Seriously with that schedule, how the hell did SMU make the playoffs before you lol.
16 Ole Miss Rebels Just think, if you faked a few more injuries you surely would have made the playoffs!
17 Army West Point If the playoffs was 13 teams, you'd be my 13th reason...wait-
18 BYU Cougars Maybe if you win your non-conference conference bowl game, the CFB committee will take a second look at putting you in the Big12 Championship game!
19 Alabama Crimson Tide HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, NO POINT IN MAKING A TOUGH SCHEDULE? CUPCAKE TEAMS?? THE PLAYOFFS IS RUINED WITHOUT US???AHAHAHAHAHAHA YEAH IF ONLY WE COULD PLAY MERCER EVERY WEEK AND NOT SPOOKY SCARY 6-6 VANDY AND OKLAHOMA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
20 Colorado Buffaloes Those bowl tie-in deals sure are odd. Oh well, time to see your stars (and Shilo) play one more time.
21 UNLV Rebels You did your best to contain Ashton Jeanty the first matchup, but it was futile in the rematch.
22 Illinois Fighting Illini Just chilling, loving life, enjoying the season. And you get South Carolina for your bowl game!
23 Memphis Tigers Would have liked to see Memphis in to face Army, oh well. One last ride against the Mountaineers!
24 Syracuse Orange Syracuse against Wazzu: Who will have more players sit/transfer out? Find out next time in the 'Skeletal remains of 2 lower-end, but having an above average year, teams that were picked apart because NIL is doing these teams more harm than good' Bowl!
25 Duke Blue Devils Whew, you drew Ole Miss? You went on a good stretch to close out the season so maybe it carries on?
