Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 8, 2025, 7:27 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Games & Highlights watched plus personal feelings of likelihood to compete for a playoff spot. Everyone in this Top 10 are my current serious contenders. Warnings Addressed: ASU - Have them grouped with 20 to 25 but feel others may be better trajectory currently. Leavitt had a very poor game this week Vandy - Aye ... I'm a believer in Pavia's magic. SC will provide clarity this week. USF - Self-explanatory lol. Expect them in the Top 10 if they defeat Miami.
