Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 28, 2025, 12:52 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Same as before, although now that we've got some conference games in, my evaluation of who is how good is starting to rapidly change, kinda why I did objective, record-based stuff last year. Teams on my mind that weren't ranked were: USF, Washington, UNT, UNM, Auburn, Mizzou, ASU, MSST
