mountain_troop86 Ballot for 2025 Week 7

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 5, 2025, 1:34 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Lots of movers today. Up and down. Also, kind of proud my model has worked and saw some teams were really not impressive in their performances. I think there is a lot of parity between 15-35 and its hard to really nail down who is better than who.

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes Model Rank: 5
2 Miami Hurricanes Model Rank: 4. They controlled that game against FSU from start to finish.
3 Oregon Ducks Model Rank: 14. Penn St being bad doesn't look as good anymore.
4 Texas Tech Red Raiders Model Rank: 6. Even if the offense has issues getting TDs, they still get points and their defense is legit and just shuts down the other team.
5 Ole Miss Rebels Model Rank: 3
6 Texas A&M Aggies Model Rank: 10. They can't afford to be a team of 2 halves against better opponents (Miss St is good this year but you all get my point).
7 Oklahoma Sooners Model Rank: 2. Solid showing without Mateer but it was Kent St so.
8 Indiana Hoosiers Model Rank: 1
9 Missouri Tigers Model Rank: 8
10 Georgia Bulldogs Model Rank: 20
11 Tennessee Volunteers Model Rank: 19
12 Memphis Tigers Model Rank: 12. Just keep chugging along.
13 BYU Cougars Model Rank 11. It feels like a weird final score.
14 Alabama Crimson Tide Model Rank: 24. Took control in the 2nd half.
15 Illinois Fighting Illini Model Rank: 18. They've as a whole rebounded nicely from getting their teeth kicked in.
16 LSU Tigers Model Rank: 38. Might be the next big name to be nuked from my rankings. Big 3 weeks ahead.
17 Arizona State Sun Devils Model Rank: 39.
18 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Model Rank: 7. That stinky win against Wake is still very stinky.
19 Virginia Cavaliers Model Rank: 21. Got away with that one...
20 Washington Huskies Model Rank: 17. Maryland just collapsed but good teams capitalize on that.
21 Michigan Wolverines Model Rank: 26. Boring offense to watch but it works, for now.
22 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Model Rank: 44. Losing to 2 top 10 teams by combined 4 points matters guys. They still need to beat other teams by a lot.
23 North Texas Mean Green Model Rank: 9. Going to make the American race interesting with Memphis.
24 UNLV Rebels Model Rank: 15
25 Iowa State Cyclones Model Rank: 32. I think injuries crushed this team this week but you need to be able to get over that. Better showing in the 2nd half but was too far behind to make it matter.
