Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 5, 2025, 9:11 a.m.
Overall Rationale: The poll is a combination of win%, opponent win%, opponent opponent's win%, and point differential. Wins over FCS teams functionally do not exist for any part of the model, the various win%s mentioned included as well as point differential. Losses to FCS teams are included as regular games, Team-by-team reasons are Rank%, previous rank, and change from last week. For example, as the top team, Texas Tech has a .922 rating. They were 7th last week, and have moved up three spots, so their reason reads ".922, 7, 3". Dropped out: #27 Arizona State, from 23rd; #28 Florida State, from 22nd; #32 Louisville, from 15th; #39 Navy, from 19th (I don't fully understand why to be honest, something with their schedule); #34 Iowa State, from 21st; #40 Mississippi State, from 25th; #42 Houston, from 13th. Other notables: #50 Texas, from 37th; #65 Penn State, from 41th (neither have been ranked for awhile in my poll)
