The-Gothic-Castle Ballot for 2025 Week 6
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 29, 2025, 9:31 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Not the hugest fan in the world of the rankings this week. I would personally put Oregon at #1. I think Vandy is a little too high but I don't mind giving them some respect. ND being ahead of both teams they lost to is a little troubling, and Miami is probably in the top 5 to me. Iowa State would also be in my human top 25. They are good but not great in the three metrics that go into my ranking system sitting in the 20s-40s for each, and their final rank comes out to #27 with current methodology. With all that said, I try not to tweak things just because the output in one particular week looks a little off to my human expectations. Generally, I am pretty happy with this.
