HieloLuz Ballot for 2025 Week 7

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 5, 2025, 3:47 p.m.

Overall Rationale: These rankings are a pure resume based points system. Teams are assigned a tier based on their rating (1-7). Points are gained for wins, subtracted for losses, based on the opponents tier. Small modifiers for game closeness (Win/Loss Bonuses/Penalties = WB, WP, LB, LP) and SOS based on Opponent's record. | If two teams are next to each other in the rankings, and have played head to head, the head to head winner will be ranked higher, regardless of points. | | | | Week 6 | Biggest Riser: Cincinnati (+33) | Biggest Drop: Texas State (-37) | New teams: Illinois, Cincinnati, Michigan, Georgia, UNLV, Washington, Nebraska | Dropped from rankings: Iowa State (10), Maryland (12), Louisville (16), Houston (17), Mississippi State (18), Tennessee (21), Florida State (25) | Next 5: Iowa State, Maryland, Notre Dame, Kansas, Tennessee | Worst Team Eastern Michigan (-141.075) | | | | Playoff projections *Conference Autobid | | Rose: 1.
