SufferingfOrLife Ballot for 2025 Week 10

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 25, 2025, 11:42 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Had a bit more fun ranking teams as we are now 2/3 of the way through CFB, which, wow, time flies, and we know who these teams are, so no reason to wait to see if they will become good. Dropped from poll, Oklahoma 7 → UR Missouri 15 → UR USF 16 → UR Arizona State 24 → UR New teams to poll: Houston UR → 14 James Madison UR → 22 Michigan UR → 24 Memphis UR → 25

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes - I thought about dropping them since Indiana has done so well, but then I remembered Ohio State has been great too, and also beat some teams I think very highly of, so I have no real reason to drop them.
2 Indiana Hoosiers - Stomped the Bruins after they were coming into Bloomington on a hot streak.
3 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets +1 Haynes King is a Heisman candidate, just wish this team would try in the first quarter. Also hope this defense tries in the future to play better between the 20s and not wait until their opponent is on the 1-yard line to lock in.
4 Texas A&M Aggies +1 Strong performance against LSU, continuing their SEC dominance, and maintaining championship aspirations.
5 Oregon Ducks -1 Wish this game was a blowout like last week, especially since Wisconsin sucks, but you take your win, I guess.
6 BYU Cougars -- Bad first quarter, but turned it on and dominated Iowa State the rest of the way.
7 Ole Miss Rebels +1 Secured a good road win and Lane Kiffin's first-ranked SEC road victory
8 Alabama Crimson Tide +1 Nice comeback against South Carolina.
9 Vanderbilt Commodores +1 Able to survive a scare at the end against Missouri
10 Georgia Bulldogs +1 BYE Week
11 Texas Tech Red Raiders +1 Oklahoma State, so basically a bye.
12 Louisville Cardinals +1 The run game has been getting going these last few weeks as this offense becomes more dangerous.
13 Miami Hurricanes +1 Rebounded against Stanford after being upset by Louisville.
14 Houston Cougars NEW This may be a stretch since they haven't beaten an elite team and have a weak schedule, but I love Conner Weigman at QB and think he is the real deal.
15 Notre Dame Fighting Irish +2 BYE Week
16 Navy Midshipmen +2 Beat a pass-happy FAU team after struggling with pass this year.
17 Cincinnati Bearcats +3 Brendan Sorsby has been great since his horrid performance against Nebraska to become a top QB in the Big 12.
18 Utah Utes +5 They just murdered Colorado.
19 Tennessee Volunteers +2 Offense is so electric, but this defense is like being strapped to an electric chair (Not really, but it worked in the paranomasia)
20 Virginia Cavaliers -1 This easily could have been a week they jump big, but instead they struggle against North Carolina, which has been horrendous.
21 USC Trojans +1 BYE Week
22 James Madison Dukes NEW BYE Week
23 Michigan Wolverines NEW Game was closer than it should have been, but still out of reach for Michigan State.
24 Washington Huskies +1 Offense looked like it got back on track with a high-powered attack against Illinois
25 Memphis Tigers NEW Nice win over USF, and it just makes sense that they beat a ranked USF but not UAB.
