Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 19, 2025, 2:26 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Current season performance, record, strength of schedule, watching the games, quality of wins, and to a degree, vibes. Preseason polling not a factor. I believe LSU doesn’t have a single good win. Teams don’t deserve to be ranked just because everyone assumed they would be good before the season even happened.
