ColombianInIowa24 Ballot for 2025 Week 7

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 7, 2025, 1:15 a.m.

Overall Rationale: New model, new input, less wacky but still kind of crazy results. Some rescaling in between and dampening are desperately needed. I meddled for some obvious defects in high loss teams or no loss teams, but otherwise let it sort itself.

Rank Team Reason
1 Memphis Tigers
2 Miami Hurricanes
3 Texas Tech Red Raiders
4 UNLV Rebels
5 Ole Miss Rebels
6 Indiana Hoosiers Penn State is pushing Oregon down by a LOT (I count OT as a tie) so if Oregon beats Indiana, all hell breaks loose.
7 Ohio State Buckeyes
8 Texas A&M Aggies
9 Oklahoma Sooners
10 BYU Cougars
11 Missouri Tigers
12 Navy Midshipmen Navy -> Oregon are unranked according to my model and just get ranked by me forcing all undefeated teams above 1 loss.
13 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
14 North Texas Mean Green
15 Oregon Ducks
16 USF Bulls
17 Old Dominion Monarchs Underrated in mainline polls actually, so far at least.
18 Washington Huskies No idea what is going on with this.
19 Houston Cougars Pathetic
20 Maryland Terrapins Less this...
21 Utah Utes Not a great 1-loss but alright.
22 Illinois Fighting Illini
23 Tulane Green Wave
24 Auburn Tigers I have no problem with putting 2 loss teams above 1 loss if the model says so and their losses are both ranked, as is the case for both Auburn....
25 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Notre Dame. (Teams not ranked but wanted above at least some of these by the model (in rough order) La Tech, SDSU, Alabama, Utah State, Cinci, Iowa State, Iowa, Tennessee, NMSU, Fresno State, ASU, Utah State, Duke, Michigan)
