thatoneguyD13 Ballot for 2025 Week 10

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 25, 2025, 11:14 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Early season rankings are based largely on expected results versus other ranked teams, and as the season goes leans more heavily on results. By the end of the season, rankings are based entirely on resume. I lean heavily into head to head results and results against common opponents. I also sort teams into 6 tiers based on championship/playoff likelihood. Tier 1: Championship Frontrunners Tier 2: Championship Contenders Tier 3: Playoff teams that I don't think are championship teams Tier 4: Good teams with Chance at Playoffs Tier 5: Unlikely to make playoffs Tier 6: No shot at playoffs

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes Tier 1.
2 Indiana Hoosiers Tier 2.
3 Texas A&M Aggies Tier 2. Slow start but big second half. TAMU seems like the real deal.
4 Alabama Crimson Tide Tier 2. Road conference wins are always tough.
5 Georgia Bulldogs Tier 3.
6 Ole Miss Rebels Tier 3.
7 Oregon Ducks Tier 3.
8 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Tier 3. I've seen enough. Welcome Yellow Jackets into Tier 3.
9 BYU Cougars Tier 4. Win next week will probably move them up a tier.
10 Vanderbilt Commodores Tier 4. Same as above.
11 Virginia Cavaliers Tier 4.
12 Louisville Cardinals Tier 4.
13 Miami Hurricanes Tier 4.
14 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Tier 4.
15 Tennessee Volunteers Tier 4.
16 Texas Tech Red Raiders Tier 4.
17 Texas Longhorns Tier 4. Somehow they're still in this.
18 Oklahoma Sooners Tier 4.
19 Michigan Wolverines Tier 4.
20 Cincinnati Bearcats Tier 4.
21 Houston Cougars Tier 4.
22 Missouri Tigers Tier 4.
23 Tulane Green Wave Tier 4.
24 Navy Midshipmen Tier 4.
25 Washington Huskies Tier 4.
