Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 28, 2025, 11:43 a.m.
Overall Rationale: After the shake-up in the top 10, we got some answers, and we got some new questions.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 |

No reason to move them yet. |
2 |
![]() |
Rewarding them for a good conference win, on the road. I could see the argument for #1 at the moment, though. |
3 |
![]() |
They dropped a spot, but not as punishment for the bye, rather Oregon has the more impressive win so far. |
4 |
![]() |
Ole Miss is looking like it might be the best team in the SEC at the moment. |
5 |
![]() |
I feel like Oklahoma is probably a little overvalued in the top 5, and unfortunately they're playing Kent State in week 6. But I'm rewarding undefeated teams this week, so it'll be good for now. |
6 |
![]() |
Would have liked to see more against Iowa, but an in conference road win is an in conference road win, in my book. |
7 |
![]() |
They didn't bury Auburn, but they were in control. Mississippi State will be an interesting test. |
8 |
![]() |
This team has been so fun to watch. I don't know if they have the stamina, but the only real tests on their schedule are BYU and Cincinnati. |
9 |
![]() |
Okay, if I'm being honest, I did this because it's funny. Is Vandy a top 10 team? Who knows. Are they tied for 1st in the SEC going into week 6? They sure are! |
10 |
![]() |
I don't feel good about punishing teams that win close on the road, in conference. |
11 |
![]() |
I could have put them at 10 for the same reasons Vanderbilt is at 9, but I'm fine with them here. A bye before Alabama, then we'll see what the picture looks like. |
12 |
![]() |
I'm rewarding undefeated teams. The season is almost halfway over, afterall. |
13 |
![]() |
The best of the "beatens" in my opinion, at least on paper and in the moment. |
14 |
![]() |
Other than week 1, it's wild to start your season in week 6...and against a bad Florida team. |
15 |
![]() |
This is probably where they should have been all along, and I think we all knew it. |
16 |
![]() |
Oh, some of y'all are about to HATE 16-20. And I love that. With one loss each, the order needs no further explanation. Only reason NC State didn't enter chat, is they dropped a second loss this week. Womp womp. |

I think it's a little more clear that Illinois lost to a very good Indiana team. |
22 |
![]() |
More of "I don't care if a road conference win was close, it was a win" |
23 |
![]() |
They're probably a better team than BYU, but fortunately we'll have that answer shortly. |
24 |
![]() |
Why do we always have to wait until the last week of the year to know who Michigan is? |
25 |
![]() |
Did I blink and Maryland is undefeated going into week 6? Nice! |
