ToeInDigDeep Ballot for 2025 Week 8
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 14, 2025, 10:42 a.m.
Overall Rationale: This week I continue my practice of privileging undefeated teams over those with a loss. I also use this submission to highlight some programs that have had strong early season performances, or teams I deem worthy of ballot recognition due to underrepresentation in major polls. I remain less convinced by some teams and conferences than others might be, which is reflected in the order of ranking on my ballot submission.
