c/cfb 2024 Final Regular Season Poll
I’ll put up a post season poll after the dust settles. But here in my eyes, we’re about to decide a National Champion baby. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfddEB6vxcxfJVhO-f3l1F0g8Z_Q-_TTaa9MDSuEs8KDSrQrA/viewform?usp=sf_link [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfddEB6vxcxfJVhO-f3l1F0g8Z_Q-_TTaa9MDSuEs8KDSrQrA/viewform?usp=sf_link]
Thanks to everyone for playing this year and congratulations to the winners, the Oregon Ducks. This comment is your official National Championship Trophy and you have full written permission to print this out and hang it in your trophy hall. The full final rankings this year are:
Remember that these are the only official rankings, any other ballots or polls or tournaments or bowls you may witness in real life are just as made up and arbitrary and therefore just as official as the official rankings presented above.
My ballot. Computer poll. Unfortunately, an Ohio State University built up a big enough lead with their win against Indiana that they managed to hold onto the #1 spot. If this were a human poll, they would probably be closer to #10 after their baffling performance yesterday… It also pulls Michigan back into the rankings and aggy doesn’t totally fall out – Texas does have quality wins after all!

Computer poll based on resume and margin of victory/defeat.
It’s been another fun season doing this poll with y’all. I have some minor tweaks I want to make for next season, but overall I’m pleased with how my spreadsheet is operating.
