Muffinnnnnnn Ballot for 2025 Week 6

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 30, 2025, 5:42 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Wins and losses matter most. If you have the same or better record as another team and you beat them head-to-head, you must be ahead of that team. Big shakeups in the rankings this week as several teams drop out, like LSU, Penn State, Texas, and Auburn. Joining the rankings this week are Virginia, Alabama, Old Dominion, and North Texas. I'm keeping the chain of Virginia > FSU > Alabama > Georgia, as they all have one loss and all beat the opponent to the right of them. Truthfully at this point in the season, it's the only way that makes sense. Sure, you can project forward and ASSUME that Virginia will lose several more games and that Alabama will go undefeated the rest of the way, but rankings shouldn't be forward-projecting, they should be backward-looking. Anyway, I'd go into more details, but I'm only gonna end up sleeping an hour or 2 today as it is, so I'll leave it there. I'll have more detailed stuff typed up in the eventual reddit comment I make under the poll.
