ceris13 Ballot for 2025 Week 9

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 19, 2025, 1:43 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Mostly vibes based.

Rank Team Reason
1 Indiana Hoosiers Still the most impressive win in CFB. Putting games out of reach early
2 Ohio State Buckeyes Dominance, but missing a true marquee win
3 Alabama Crimson Tide Looking dominant the past few weeks. Opening loss is clearly in the rearview
4 Texas A&M Aggies Squeaking by Arkansas is triggering some flashbacks to prior years, but still no losses
5 Oregon Ducks Poor Rutgers catching them after a loss. Bounceback was nice
6 Georgia Bulldogs If only they had beat Alabama....
7 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Don't love the efficiency, but the coaching is there and I'm not sure who stops them from making the playoff
8 Vanderbilt Commodores Fun times in Nashville! LSU was overrated, but still a good win against a team who was at a talent advantage. Best coaching job in the SEC this year
9 Ole Miss Rebels 17 4Q points allowed to blow it. Oof
10 BYU Cougars 7-0 is 7-0. Rewarding the resume more than what I think they are going forward
11 Miami Hurricanes Beck keeps throwing INTs and I wanted to drop them further
12 Texas Tech Red Raiders Top 10 team against the Devils at night in the desert is asking for an upset.... what do you mean this was a day game?
13 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Best win of the year for the Irish, and I was still left wanting a bit more
14 Missouri Tigers Overcame a bad matchup against the AUB run defense to win at night in Jordan-Hare. Ugly ugly game, but a win is a win.
15 Oklahoma Sooners Win against a SCar team that looks dejected. Wanted to see more to bounce back from RRS
16 Virginia Cavaliers Ew what was that???
17 Louisville Cardinals Great resume builder
18 USF Bulls Feels like I'm too high here. Best win is... Florida? Looking good against lesser teams, but how good are they really?
19 Tennessee Volunteers Past two weeks have inspired no confidence that this is a top 15 team
20 Navy Midshipmen Getting into the toughest part of the schedule. Expect them to drop.
21 Cincinnati Bearcats One of about six teams that could win the Big 12
22 LSU Tigers OVERRATED chants ring out in unison.
23 Texas Longhorns They are without a doubt the worst team I've ever heard of. But I have heard of them. Seriously, WTF was that???
24 Arizona State Sun Devils Welcome back B12 preseason favorites
25 Illinois Fighting Illini Want to drop them out, but the bye keeps them in! Ugly losses to good teams, and not much else on the resume.
