fm22fnam Ballot for 2025 Week 4

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 14, 2025, 3:17 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Based on my poll from last week. Not looking at the AP poll before making my own this year. I am very biased.

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes +0 Still #1 despite struggling against Ohio.
2 Penn State Nittany Lions +1 Similar to OSU, had a slow start against a game they should have easily won. Moving up because LSU is going down.
3 Oregon Ducks +1 Same as those above. Should have done better against Northwestern.
4 Georgia Bulldogs +2 Was tempted to move them up further, but probably will in later weeks. Tennessee is a good team, and so is Georgia
5 Miami Hurricanes +0 They handled USF easily. Definitely still a Top 5 team
6 LSU Tigers -4 I am probably being very harsh here. I'm sure they will come back up though
7 Florida State Seminoles +0 Bye week, not much else to say
8 Texas Tech Red Raiders +6 Here begins the sh*tshow portion of my rankings. I've got no idea where to rank some of these teams, so I'm just using teams from last week's rankings that did well up and moving everyone who did poorly way down
9 Illinois Fighting Illini +10 I was too harsh on Illinois last week, they're pretty good
10 Indiana Hoosiers +14 Same as Illinois, I was too harsh on Indiana
11 Tennessee Volunteers -2 I refuse to punish Tennessee too much for losing that game. I toyed with leaving them at #9, but I feel they should drop. They will definitely move back up barring some real big screw ups
12 BYU Cougars +5 They won bye week by not losing or struggling against someone
13 Utah Utes +5 Probably should have beat Wyoming by more, but eh whatever. They should be next to their Mormon rivals
14 Texas Longhorns -6 Arch Manning is not good, like really not good. I'm pretty certain that I'm going to end up dropping Ohio State down a few spots because this Texas win looks a lot worse each and every week.
15 Oklahoma Sooners +8 Easily destroyed Temple (on the road, why?) Put them next to Texas because why not
16 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets +UNR Georgia Tech is back baby. Brent Key is a legend
17 Iowa State Cyclones -6 Struggled against a brand new FBS team
18 USC Trojans -3 Purdue is not back yet, and USC should probably have done better against them.
19 Ole Miss Rebels -3 Same as USC, definitely should have handled Arkansas better
20 Vanderbilt Commodores +UNR Pimp Vandy is back on the menu boys
21 USF Bulls -9 They lost badly to Miami. But I don't quite want to drop them out yet. Hopefully they can bounce back
22 California Golden Bears +UNR Cal may or may not be good this year, but I think it's funny to rank them
23 TCU Horned Frogs -3 Struggled a bit against Abilene Christian
24 New Mexico Lobos +UNR New Mexico beat UCLA. I like them.
25 UNLV Rebels + UNR UNLV beat UCLA, I like them. Dropped From Rankings: #10 Notre Dame, #13 South Carolina, #21 Clemson, #22 Auburn, #25 Alabama
