mountain_troop86 Ballot for 2025 Week 9

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 19, 2025, 3:02 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I personally had a horrible weekend (check my flair) but honestly...the CFB was great. A lot of ranked teams just keep losing making this way more fun/difficult. My computer model rankings are in the reasons. My 25-30: Tulane, Navy, JMU, Utah, SDSU

Rank Team Reason
1 Indiana Hoosiers Has completed more tests than Ohio St. and wins the H2H comparison matchup in the model. Model Rank: 1.
2 Ohio State Buckeyes Really a 1a, 1b with Indiana. Hopefully they play each other in the CCG. Model Rank: 2.
3 Texas A&M Aggies Arkansas is a tougher out than people give them credit for but still having issues putting a FULL game together but...undefeated. Got to keep it together for the next 2 weeks. Model Rank: 5.
4 Alabama Crimson Tide On a heater, completely different team from the FSU game but that is still aging horribly. Above Georgia because of H2H. Model Rank: 12.
5 Georgia Bulldogs They don't feel like that step on your throat Georgia team of the past several years but still incredibly good. Model Rank: 8.
6 BYU Cougars I hate this but I must. I do not know if their style of play will hold up against the rest of the schedule but it has so far so they've earned this. Model Rank: 5.
7 Oregon Ducks Model Rank: 7.
8 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets They simply find ways to win and are consistent but lack that "killer" play style. Model Rank: 3.
9 Ole Miss Rebels Figured someone would trip them up but still a solid team. Model Rank: 13.
10 Texas Tech Red Raiders Came on too late. Hammond is gonna be amazing for them over the next few years. Model Rank: 20.
11 Oklahoma Sooners Much better looking version of Mateer. More convinced they beat Texas with him fully healthy. Model Rank: 11.
12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Should...I say again SHOULD, now coast to the playoffs. Model Rank: 28.
13 Miami Hurricanes Between Beck's horrible showing, and leadership, and Cristobal's horrendous game management, it was coming. Model Rank: 16.
14 Missouri Tigers Auburn has held people close but that was super stinky. If Auburn could kick, you lose that game. Model Rank: 10.
15 Virginia Cavaliers Well, Ole Miss also was stinky against Wazzu so you get a pass...sort of. Model Rank: 22.
16 Tennessee Volunteers Model Rank: 32.
17 Cincinnati Bearcats This team is such a surprise, but a good one. Model Rank: 14.
18 USF Bulls AAC driver's seat still. Model Rank: 18.
19 Vanderbilt Commodores I don't think they have "prove" anything else but I'm just not really certain for some reason. Model Rank: 21.
20 Louisville Cardinals Not surprised you were the one. Model Rank: 15.
21 Houston Cougars Almost got caught, Arizona is good enough to get teams but not overall that good. Model Rank: 19.
22 Memphis Tigers Losing to UAB? I allow some play with loses but UAB shouldn't be the one and now in a must win. Model Rank: 23.
23 Arizona State Sun Devils Awesome response to getting killed the week before. Obviously Leavitt changes the team. Model Rank: 47.
24 Michigan Wolverines Underwood does keep getting better. But it is so boring to watch sometimes. Model Rank: 36.
25 LSU Tigers Saw this coming a mile away and doesn't get easier for the next 2 weeks. Model Rank: 50.
