fm22fnam Ballot for 2025 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 3, 2025, 1:12 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Based my poll from last week. Didn't feel like waiting for the AP poll to release this week. Will be some big movement in these first few weeks.

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes +0 Penn State may be the better team, but OSU has the better resume after 1 game. Will be settled in November.
2 Penn State Nittany Lions +1 Better than I had planned, but it was only Nevada.
3 LSU Tigers +9 I can tell that I under ranked LSU. Figured there was no way Brian Kelly could make this team good. I may have been wrong.
4 Georgia Bulldogs +0 Don't really know about Georgia. Did great against Marshall, but it was Marshall.
5 Miami Hurricanes +4 I also did not give enough respect to Miami evidently.
6 Oregon Ducks +1 Easily beat Portland State.
7 Texas Longhorns -5 Can't drop them too much for losing to #1
8 Illinois Fighting Illini +3 Why did they move up this far? Idk, I like big Bert
9 Iowa State Cyclones +8 Evidently they are much better than Kansas State
10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish -5 Lost to Miami. Probably too low, but they can easily go back up.
11 South Carolina Gamecocks +3 Not that impressive of a win, but basically have to rise by default.
12 Clemson Tigers -6 I don't like Clemson
13 Michigan Wolverines +0 Not that good of a look against New Mexico, so they stay here for now.
14 Ole Miss Rebels +6 Annihilated whatever FCS team they played. Oh, nvm it's an FBS team. Ouch.
15 SMU Mustangs +0 Idk bro just sit here
16 BYU Cougars +6 BYU did better than expected
17 Texas Tech Red Raiders +6 Tortilla
18 Utah Utes +6 Ute
19 Tennessee Volunteers +0 Not that impressive of a win over Syracuse, they still got potential though. I think they will move up.
20 Florida State Seminoles +UNR The dynasty is dead, and Florida State killed it.
21 USC Trojans +UNR Beat the team they played by a lot. Might be good, idk.
22 TCU Horned Frogs +UNR Let everyone know that UNC's unc sucks. They're pretty good.
23 Tulane Green Wave +UNR Oof, RIP Northwestern.
24 Auburn Tigers +UNR Decent win, but more importantly it's funny to put them above Alabama.
25 Texas A&M Aggies +0 Idk what to think about this team. They can hang out here for now. Fell from ranking: #8 Alabama (The witch is dead) #10 Arizona State (Overrated them) #16 Kansas State (Oh my god they suck) #18 Indiana (I hate to do this, but that was ugly. Hopefully they can go back up) #21 Boise State (Ugly ugly loss)
