Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 19, 2025, 10:04 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, a few weeks ago, Texas Tech had a .922 rating. They were 7th the prior week, and moved up three spots, so their reason read ".922, 7, 3". Dropped out includes #27 Memphis, from #9, #29 Nebraska, from #16, #31 LSU, from #23, #33 Tennessee, from #25, and #35 Washington, from #17.
