Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 9, 2025, 3:35 a.m.

Overall Rationale: A combination of projected roster strength (since 2 matches into the season) and current record taking into account the strength of teams faced. Ohio State have the strongest win in their 2-0 start against Texas so are the clear number one team, Miami have the 2nd strongest win in their 2-0 start to lie in 2nd place on the rankings. Neutral field favourability will be considered when there is no distinction between opposing resumes, for example LSU and Florida State both contain a ranked win but LSU would be favoured in a one-on-one match.
