Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 20, 2025, 2:41 a.m.

Overall Rationale: With all the ranked vs ranked games, and the top 10 loses, it's time for a shake-up. I am not looking at my previous poll at all. Starting again from scratch. Also heavily favoring undefeated teams over AP poll.

• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Ohio State Buckeyes	Boringly the best. Yawn.
2	Indiana Hoosiers
3	Texas A&M Aggies	I don't think they're the best SEC team, but I think they earned it by being undefeated so far.
4	Alabama Crimson Tide	Probably the best SEC team, but man, the FSU loss just sucks more and more.
5	Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
6	Georgia Bulldogs
7	BYU Cougars	Maybe the most fraudulent P4 undefeated team. But going 7-0 is hard, and they've done it, so here they are.
8	Oregon Ducks
9	Vanderbilt Commodores	Tell your children about Top 10 Vandy.
10	Miami Hurricanes	Maybe too far of a drop, we'll see.
11	Texas Tech Red Raiders
12	Louisville Cardinals
13	Missouri Tigers
14	Navy Midshipmen
15	USF Bulls
16	Ole Miss Rebels
17	Oklahoma Sooners
