Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Jan. 22, 2025, 12:31 p.m.
Overall Rationale: All reasons are my preseason poll, which I haven't seen since I made it. Next 5 out are Navy, Louisville, Ohio, LSU, and Florida. Next 5 in preseason were NC State (Bad), Boise State (Too Low), Texas A&M (OK), Iowa State, and SMU (Both OK Considering expectations
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Georgia, Not Bad, but not #1 material |
2 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Ohio State, Hit, but most people had them here, so no surprise |
3 | Oregon Ducks | Oregon, Hit, Called them the best team on paper, they weren't |
4 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Texas, OK, I just expected more out of them really |
5 | Georgia Bulldogs | Ole Miss, Not Good, The SEC was disappointing this year, for SEC fans that is, great for everyone else |
6 | Texas Longhorns | Alabama, BAD, lol |
7 | Indiana Hoosiers | Notre Dame, Good, so close to 15-N1U, so close |
8 | Arizona State Sun Devils | Penn State, Good, James Franklin won a big game? He can do that? |
9 | Boise State Broncos | Florida State, 2-10 |
10 | Tennessee Volunteers | Missouri, Miss, Deciding to barely use a top 5 WR in the country is an interesting call that didn't pay off |
11 | BYU Cougars | Kansas State, Miss, Entering the Big 12 block, get ready for a lot of misses |
12 | Ole Miss Rebels | Utah, Bad Miss, Cam Falling |
13 | SMU Mustangs | Oklahoma State, Worst Big 12 Miss, 5 straight misses |
14 | Iowa State Cyclones | Michigan, Kinda Miss, they did beat Ohio State and Alabama, but went 8-5 |
15 | Clemson Tigers | LSU, Meh "Tigers also lost a lot of talent, but week 1 vs USC will really tell us where they’re at" my preseason writing, sums it up |
16 | Illinois Fighting Illini | Clemson, Hit, 1 spot of difference, not bad |
17 | Syracuse Orange | Kansas, "If Jalon Daniels is healthy they make the playoffs, book it" Don't take gambling advice from me |
18 | Miami Hurricanes | Oklahoma, Miss, They beat Alabama I guess? |
19 | South Carolina Gamecocks | Miami, "They had a good recruiting class I guess? Will start 6-0 and end 8-4" I was close |
20 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Arizona, Miss, incredible what McMillan was able to do without a QB |
21 | Army West Point | Tennessee, Too Low, I was lower on them than most people, but they didn't quite live up to expectations, so point me I guess? |
22 | Memphis Tigers | Iowa, "Dominant D + competent QB = success?" No, not really |
23 | UNLV Rebels | Virginia Tech, Miss, I know the bottom spots of the poll don't really matter, but come on |
24 | Missouri Tigers | USC, Miss, We need to stop putting teams that lost a lot but were good last year in the poll, it never goes well |
25 | Colorado Buffaloes | West Virginia, Miss, Neal Brown showed progress in 2023, what happened? |
