Ch-i-ef Ballot for 2025 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 3, 2025, 4:04 p.m.

Overall Rationale: 2026 Projected 1st Pick: Sellers? Mateer? Klubnik? BECK?

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes Texas put up a good fight, but they had Arch as their QB
2 Penn State Nittany Lions Won't be tested until the Oregon game
3 Oregon Ducks Won't be tested until the Penn State Game (you're not gonna slip up against Oklahoma State...right?)
4 Georgia Bulldogs One more tune-up game and then you're in the thick of your schedule
5 Arizona State Sun Devils This is probably too high for you, but nobody will say I doubted you either
6 South Carolina Gamecocks Sellers.
7 Miami Hurricanes Hammer head shark looked good. Miami might be in the running once again (you have a defense now...right?)
8 LSU Tigers 6 of your 9 remaining P4 opponents are ranked, woof
9 Michigan Wolverines Better game for M than the scoreboard showed. Underwood gets tested against OU next
10 Clemson Tigers I'd give your coach a 58 for not being able to adapt to the modern college football landscape and that's being generous
11 Notre Dame Fighting Irish The independent team schedule is fun when you get to face middling ACC teams, and not so fun when you have to face back to back ranked teams
12 Texas Longhorns Well if Arch discovers basic forward passing mechanics, then the Longhorns should be fine...
13 Florida State Seminoles Is Florida State good after being dogwater? Is Bama dead? Can both be true? Find out in a few weeks I guess
14 Tennessee Volunteers The superior orange team
15 BYU Cougars Feel like people are overlooking BYU...but if I start actively saying that, they'll choke a game they shouldn't. The later half of the schedule picks up some steam in terms of SoS if they can hold it together
16 Illinois Fighting Illini Introducing the only ranked team Ohio State will face from now until...November......ILLINOIS?
17 Iowa State Cyclones Feels strange to see how consistently good the Cyclones are now. Top tier success remains as that just out of reach goal. Maybe this will be the year...
18 Indiana Hoosiers ...So not the most inspiring offensive performance
19 Ole Miss Rebels Already on to SEC play eh?
20 Oklahoma Sooners Mateer is looking good to start, but Michigan is an immediate test to determine how the season will go
21 Missouri Tigers Border showdown time
22 Texas A&M Aggies You gave up how many rushing yards???
23 Utah Utes Is Utah back? (UCLA isn't)
24 USC Trojans I'm still putting USC on here. I don't trust that they're just going to be this irrelevant team this season.
25 Alabama Crimson Tide One last chance Bama. Prove something or get out (so I can put Vandy here instead)
