Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 5, 2025, 2:43 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Again, despite all the chaos, so many teams were idle this week that the poll kind of built itself. Clear top 9 undefeateds to me, and another clear drop off after BYU at 15. Everything else is mostly a crap shoot. I opted to leave Texas in without too much penalty, since I think playing Ohio State close is honestly more impressive than a P4 win at this point. Penn State and Iowa State don't otherwise have justifiable positions. Dropped out: Iowa State (9), Penn State (10), Florida State (20). New this week: South Florida (23), UNLV (24), Notre Dame (25). Next few out, in rough order: Virginia, Iowa State, Utah, Arizona, USC, Washington, Cincinnati, Navy, Penn State, Nebraska, TCU
