Zloggt Ballot for 2025 Week 4
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 16, 2025, 10:20 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Every 5 teams makes up a single tier, for a total of five tiers overall. Also, did a bit of reorganizing (though maybe I could have done more but I am busy so leave me alone)
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
The Big Fish in the Buckeye Pond slightly struggled, yet still managed to eat its in-state competition... |
| 2 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Like, Villanova would TOTALLY destroy Penn State on the basketball court! Well...maybe NOW they would...jury's out on if the Neptune teams could've done so... |
| 3 |
Oregon Ducks
|
>be ducks >play game right along the lake >do good and move nicely >wowwhatasurprise.jpg |
| 4 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Bit of a tough choice between the Hurricanes and the Tigers...but I suppose that beating the team that beat Florida on the road (versus at home) gives Miami the extra little nod for now...and also maybe the fact that Notre Dame is only SLIGHTLY less worse than Clemson too! |
| 5 |
LSU Tigers
|
...I guess LSU would have stayed above Miami had they won juuuuust a bit more convincingly against Florida (not that they DIDN'T win convincingly...but you know, maybe a margin of beyond 10 points would look better)... |
| 6 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
...if Alabama is not all THAT bad...then FSU has got to be SUPER good! |
| 7 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Probably should not be THIS relatively high...the Bulldogs won the game just as much as the Vols lost it... |
| 8 |
Texas Longhorns
|
...then again, Texas seemingly being stuck on second gear does make UGA look better by comparison... |
| 9 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
...when there's a Willinois, there is a Wayillinois (oh God I am so terrified of Indiana)! |
| 10 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Zamn...I don't know WHEN (yes, not if - when) the good vibes will stop in College Station - but for now, youse got my attention...and respect! |
| 11 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Iowa State could still probably beat them in a neutral-field...but frankly, the Sooners' resume is holding up a bit better by now... |
| 12 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
...how much of their record is legit? Are they just tired, or is there a deeper problem? Either way - Kansas State (and South Dakota) are not helping out the cause hahaha |
| 13 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
The Demon of Babylon approaches the Kingdom of Heaven with insidious, subversive intent...only St. Luke can save us here... |
| 14 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
If you live by the one-score win...be careful of the one-score loss... |
| 15 |
Utah Utes
|
Both Utah AND Texas Tech are in a weird "explosive offense, but their opponents are kind of weak" gray area...but at least the Utes have a marginally better list of opponents (and also the fact that they got a road win too)... |
| 16 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
...you've done had it, Tennessee! Can't believe you've done this smdhistg |
| 17 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
...I suppose I was being too harsh by not ranking Tech until now...but alas, just because you feast on cupcakes VERY good does NOT mean you should be highly rewarded for that (though this can plenty change here)... |
| 18 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
...recapturing their throne on top of the AACtion (if only for a week)... |
| 19 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
...B1G play approaches...maybe this ex-Big 8 opponent will be easier to beat? |
| 20 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
...the industrialists are back! And in this age of neo-robber barons...perhaps fittingly so... |
| 21 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
Maybe I'm underrating these two nerd schools a bit...but hey, just keep buzzin', and you'll get higher! |
| 22 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
...Bama remains an enigma...proven to still be good, but does that make the Noles loss look better or worse in retrospect? |
| 23 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
...truth be told, I'm probably giving Notre Dame, South Carolina, AND Clemson too much benefit of the doubt (probably because I'm a slave to poll inertia lol)...but I guess that, as far as 0-2 teams go, being four points away from 2-0 does make for a mighty fine excuse... |
| 24 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
...arguably (well, not THAT arguably) had the WORSE loss than their in-state rivals...but are also perhaps in a better position than them (2-1 vs. 1-2) as well...all dependent on Seller's health, of course... |
| 25 |
Clemson Tigers
|
AAAAAHHHHH!!! That BEE is LIVING my LIFE!!! WHEN WILL THIS NIGHTMARE END?!?!?!?!? |
