Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 7, 2025, 12:34 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Last week my most unusual rankings were USF (positive) and Florida (negative), so basically I'm the greatest genius of all time and will never be wrong about anything ever again. I am not particularly convinced by Georgia at the moment, but I'm scared to drop them too far because y'know, they're Georgia. Illinois beating up Duke on the road shouldn't get overlooked; that's a quietly great win. Lane Kiffin needs to learn how to lock the fuck in against Kentucky one of these years. Oklahoma has, sadly, convinced me that they're good. Clemson has very much not done that and I feel very vindicated in thinking LSU-Clemson was a thoroughly fake top-ten game. Kalen DeBoer is probably not getting fired *yet*, and personally as a Tennessee fan I couldn't be happier about that fact. I'm unsure if SMU is good, but if they're even decent then I kinda have to think...maybe Auburn has something going? The vibes are better there than at South Carolina, anyway. Though that's not saying much. I am THIS close to ranking Vanderbilt, I swear.
