Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 2, 2025, 12:24 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Hopefully I submit the poll this week, next out are Tulane, Alabama, Louisville, TCU, and Nebraska
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Beat #1 be #1 |
| 2 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
If they beat up Oregon in a couple weeks I could move them to #1 |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
I trust them more than other top teams |
| 4 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Didn’t almost lose to a lesser out of conference opponent this season |
| 5 |
LSU Tigers
|
Absorbs Clemsons ranking |
| 6 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Don’t fall that hard, but some concerns are there |
| 7 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Beat a good team, maybe they don’t fall apart again? |
| 8 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
LaNorris Sellers is good at football |
| 9 |
Arizona State Sun Devils
|
Take it or Leavitt |
| 10 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
You better hope K State isn’t last years FSU |
| 11 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
The better orange team |
| 12 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Maybe Klubnik has to be more than just competent for this team to be good |
| 13 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
I don’t like you or this ranking |
| 14 |
SMU Mustangs
|
I’m not doubting them |
| 15 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Just keep winning and no one can complain |
| 16 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
The unproven SEC team I feel the best about |
| 17 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Still good but that schedule doesn’t get easier |
| 18 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
It’s like if Texas had less preseason hype and was probably worse |
| 19 |
Florida Gators
|
I didn’t know Long Island university had football until I saw Floridas schedule |
| 20 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Honestly I don’t know why people are so high on Tech I just think they’re cool |
| 21 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
Possible top 20 matchup in Atlanta soon |
| 22 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
The unproven SEC team I am the least confident in |
| 23 |
BYU Cougars
|
More than the sum of your Retzlaf |
| 24 |
Navy Midshipmen
|
Let it be known I have Navy ranked and Alabama unranked, has this ever happened before? |
| 25 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Last year when NIU beat Notre Dame I ranked NIU and unranked ND, same thing here but it feels weirder |
