IceColdDrPepper_Here Ballot for 2025 Week 4
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 15, 2025, 10:48 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Rankings based on my own opinion and start fresh every week
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Miami has looked like the best team in the country |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
This is more of a 1b than #2. The gap between them and Miami is not very big in my mind but I do think Miami has looked slightly better so far |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
One of the best things about Kirby's teams that I don't think they get enough credit for is that they are incredibly adaptive. Yes, the main style will always be suffocating defense and running the ball but they're more than capable of not just competing in but winning shootouts when they have to, and Saturday's win over Tennessee was a prime example of that. Also to be clear, even if Georgia lost I'd still have them very high in the rankings because they are a top 10 at minimum team regardless |
| 4 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 5 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 6 |
LSU Tigers
|
LSU having a good defense is great for them but the offense leaves a lot to be desired. I don't know if they have that same gear Georgia does right now where they can keep up in a shootout if they have to |
| 7 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
Yes, Tech is this high. No, I don't care what you think. Even as a devout UGA fan and alum, I am a BEE-liever (hehehe) in Key & King's Yellow Jackets. May they win every game except the one on November 28th |
| 8 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
|
| 9 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Beating up on 3 cupcakes is fine but it's what you're supposed to do. The teams ahead of them have won bigger games. We'll see how good PSU actually is now that conference play is starting |
| 10 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Saturday's game was a game between 2 great teams that unfortunately one could win, and Tennessee got the short end of that stick. They'll get healthier throughout the season and don't be shocked if there's a rematch with Georgia in Atlanta. |
| 11 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
|
| 12 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
|
| 13 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
|
| 14 |
Texas Longhorns
|
I think it's time we really have to ask: is Arch bad? I wasn't someone who was crowning him the second coming of Christ but I still thought he'd be better than this |
| 15 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
|
| 16 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 17 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Trinidad's good and Kentucky and Arkansas are never teams that are gonna go down easy but Ole Miss should be good enough to not be in dog fights with them 2 weeks in a row. This Tulane game will be really interesting. |
| 18 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
I swear to God if Georgia loses to these guys again... |
| 19 |
Missouri Tigers
|
|
| 20 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
Was the win over SCar a product of Sellers getting hurt or is Vandy just that good? I'm leaning towards the latter because they were winning before Sellers went out |
| 21 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
|
| 22 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
|
| 23 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 24 |
BYU Cougars
|
|
| 25 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
