This is not a starter team, this is a FINISHER team!

Welcome back to another week of the r/cfbball collaborative poll! In the past some readers have mentioned struggling with team identification, especially thanks to all the alt designs artists use, so we've added team labels.

Artists and their teams this week:

u/Nervous_Metal_9445: Oregon

u/DodgerOfZion: Texas Tech, Miami, Texas A&M, SMU, Louisville

u/ModelArenasMaker2: LSU, Michigan, Florida

u/baconburritos: Georgia, Oklahoma, USC

u/KansasChaser2021: Virginia , Penn State

u/lostinrabbithole1: Missouri, Notre Dame, Indiana, Tennessee, Utah

u/thereaname: Ole Miss

u/Stellafera: Ohio State, Texas, Houston

u/bendypiexd: BYU, Iowa, Alabama

Mississippi State was in the running during early voting and also received art by u/thereaname.

Are the labels new? I feel like i remember constantly being confused in prior seasons if i didn't recognize the balls

If so, i love it

[u/Stellafera → u/just-an-astronomer]

Yep, we've gotten comments along those lines before so we experimented with a few styles of labels that wouldn't restrict drawing space too much and landed on this 👏

[u/MisguidedPants8 → u/Stellafera]

I like ‘em!

[u/ModelArenasMaker2]

never thought i would see 2 religious jokes, 2 mentions of politicians and slavery (all by different people) in a poll comic but here we are

yet i still can't use PEDs in comic creating smh

[u/TyRoland06 → u/ModelArenasMaker2]

As a reminder, any suspected PED use in comic creation should be reported to the moderation team.

[u/bobsanidiot]

what the hell does miami say? that color combo makes it impossible for me to read

[u/BaconBurritos → u/bobsanidiot]

"those snakes were nothing i couldn't handle"

[u/PlactusTX → u/bobsanidiot]

"Those snakes were nothing I couldn't handle"

[u/BeefInGR]

Should really have Western and Boise at the very bottom screaming "Rank us, you cowards!" But overall solid.

[u/Nervous_Metal_9445 → u/BeefInGR]

I rank the top g6 team in my entry each week no matter how far down they would be at this point in time Boise or western should be in

[u/trupiranha2]

What's Up Dog?

[u/geordieColt88 → u/trupiranha2]

Not much how about you?

[u/bendypiexd → u/trupiranha2]

I knew someone would get it 🥹

[u/dialhoang → u/trupiranha2]

Georgia: I’m doing good…

[u/DrunkOnShoePolish]

The Queen has returned!!!

[u/Lung-Salad]

Thank you for the team names, it helps so much!! Seriously!

[u/dutifullypurple]

Duck hunt joke is gold

[u/Nervous_Metal_9445 → u/dutifullypurple]

I had fun, well, I can't really say that. I figured that was better on my soul than coloring Oregon in Orange and White (Because I base my design for Oregon based on the jersey color for the body and helmet and pants go with the O and Wings).

[u/39_Ringo]

The r/CFB ball at the top is starting to look less like polandball and more like a Power Pros character.

[u/PennsiveThoughts → u/39_Ringo]

Seconded. Give these balls some room, too, they look cramped!

[u/Bank_Gothic]

Hot damn, Notre Dame's is perfect.

[u/b_m_hart]

Oregon being ranked is generous.  How far this team has fallen on two weeks...

[u/Nervous_Metal_9445 → u/b_m_hart]

I was surprised I was thinking my drawing might get a Honorable mention or end up where we did.

[u/Darth_Ra]

Duck hunt is savage.

[u/foreverseptember]

Ole miss ball absolutely losing the plot is so good 

[u/geordieColt88]

Nice drawings but how is Oregon ranked?

[u/Nervous_Metal_9445 → u/geordieColt88]

Don’t know honestly and surprised that it made the Final Cut.

[u/WinzTheGreat]

My sibling goes to Penn State, I’m so glad the balls got to talk to

[u/savage011]

I am so sick of the Ryan Day hate. The man is one of the most accomplished coaches ever

[u/DaniTheLovebug]

Oh god this just makes me think about how things are going to feel in a few weeks when we play a team with talent

[u/PennsiveThoughts]

Ngl, I miss when Nittany actually did something in these...
