Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 2, 2025, 7:37 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Preseason polls are a joke, but so is ranking a team with no wins. Week 1 is made up of only undefeated teams as there is no such thing as a good loss. In Week 2, you will see some 1-1 teams in the poll, and by week 4, things will look more normal. Until then, enjoy my opinion on the best of the undefeated teams.
