Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Jan. 23, 2025, 1:13 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Note: I'm mostly only going to change playoff teams, besides a couple exceptions. Bowl games have so many opt outs now in days I don't think they are thar indicative of anything. Except maybe the rare game like Bama where there weren't many opt outs I believe Bias: I go to TAMU. Grew up ASU fan. Gonna keep reasoning short cause no one reads this. Message me on reddit if you are reading this. Also, idk g5 so I tend to leave them off for an extra week Trying to not penalize teams for playing an extra game, rankings will be similar to last week

They had the best regular season. They lost to the champs, after having a long bye in a year where all 4 teams with byes came out flat footed. I still think they are better than ND |
