Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 21, 2025, 8:12 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Dropped Out: #9 Illinois, #20 Utah, #22 Tulane, #24 Cal. This week feels like a good time to start allowing some 1-loss teams to be ranked. They'll be earning their way back in like any other team and not just jumping up to where they are in the regular polls.
