FrontRunner51 Ballot for 2025 Week 6

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 30, 2025, 7:10 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Combo of human and computer polls plus my own judgment

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes -
2 Indiana Hoosiers -
3 Miami Hurricanes +1
4 Ole Miss Rebels +2
5 Oregon Ducks -2; My 3-5 is very close (Miami, Ole Miss, Oregon). Despite the win @PSU, their schedule was otherwise very easy which hurts them a bit. Plus I'm not so sure yet that PSU is a great win...
6 Oklahoma Sooners +2
7 Texas A&M Aggies +4
8 Michigan Wolverines +4
9 Alabama Crimson Tide +4; FSU loss looks a bit worse, but credit for winning @ Georgia
10 BYU Cougars +6
11 Vanderbilt Commodores +10
12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish +6
13 Illinois Fighting Illini NR; Illinois was my #26 last week, but still a bit of whiplash with these early season rankings
14 Texas Tech Red Raiders -
15 USC Trojans -6
16 LSU Tigers -6
17 Iowa State Cyclones +5
18 Georgia Bulldogs -13
19 Missouri Tigers -2
20 Tennessee Volunteers -1
21 Penn State Nittany Lions -14; Played wretched offense for 3 quarters. For now they're penalized for an otherwise easy schedule and unimpressive offense, despite the very close loss to Oregon that could have gone either way at the end.
22 Louisville Cardinals +2
23 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets NR
24 Arizona State Sun Devils NR
25 Texas Longhorns -10; A big drop from just being idle, but any linkage to last season is wearing off, and their schedule aside from Ohio St. has been comically weak. Next up: #26 Nebraska, #27 Washington
