Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 14, 2025, 5:37 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Lots of winners in here. Only a few losers. I do have a couple teams ranked with a loss on their record. With bigger games starting, we will really start to see some schools differentiate themselves with a quality win over someone with a cupcake win. For now, there are a few hot takes here, but there is still time to let things sort themselves out.
