T-Thugs Ballot for 2025 Week 10

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 26, 2025, 9:30 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Each week, I re-rank all the teams based on their resumes

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes Ohio State is my number 1 team. The reigning champs are 7-0 with nice wins over Texas (6-2, defeated Oklahoma), Washington (6-2, defeated Illinois) and Illinois (5-3, defeated USC)
2 Indiana Hoosiers Indiana has an argument to be at #1 but I've got them at #2. They have nice wins over Oregon (7-1), Iowa (6-2), and Illinois (5-3, defeated USC)
3 Alabama Crimson Tide Alabama has stacked up nice wins. They're 7-1 and have wins over Georgia (6-1, defeated Ole Miss and Tennessee), Vanderbilt (7-1, defeated Missouri), Missouri (6-2) and Tennessee (6-2)
4 Texas A&M Aggies Texas A&M is 8-0 and has a very nice win over Notre Dame (5-2, defeated USC). Also beat LSU (5-3)
5 Georgia Bulldogs Georgia is 6-1 and has nice wins over Ole Miss (7-1, defeated Oklahoma) and Tennessee (6-2)
6 Ole Miss Rebels Ole Miss is 7-1 and has nice wins over Oklahoma (6-2) and Tulane (6-1). Also beat LSU (5-3)
7 BYU Cougars BYU is 8-0 and has a nice win over Utah (6-2). Also beat Iowa State (5-3, defeated Iowa)
8 Louisville Cardinals Louisville is 6-1 and has nice wins over Miami (6-1, defeated Notre Dame) and Pittsburgh (6-2)
9 Texas Tech Red Raiders Texas Tech is 7-1 and has nice wins over Houston (7-1) and Utah (6-2)
10 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Georgia Tech is 8-0 and has a nice win over Wake Forest (5-2). Also has a win over Duke (4-3). They're undefeated but I'm just not super impressed with their resume. They'll have chances to prove they belong up top when they play Georgia.
11 Virginia Cavaliers Virginia is 7-1 and defeated Louisville (6-1, defeated Miami). I generally don't like to have teams beat another team ranked behind them, but I think Louisville has better wins and Virginia has a much worse loss to NC State.
12 Miami Hurricanes Miami is 6-1 with a nice win over Notre Dame (5-2, defeated USC)
13 Vanderbilt Commodores Vanderbilt is 6-1 with a nice win over Missouri (6-2). Also beat LSU (5-3)
14 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Notre Dame is 5-2 with nice wins over USC (5-2, defeated Michigan) and Boise State (6-2, defeated UNLV)
15 USC Trojans USC is 5-2 with a nice win over Michigan (6-2)
16 Texas Longhorns Texas is 6-2 with a nice win over Oklahoma (6-2, defeated Michigan)
17 Oklahoma Sooners Oklahoma is 6-2 with a nice win over Michigan (6-2). I
18 Michigan Wolverines Michigan is 6-2 with nice wins over Nebraska (6-2) and Washington (6-2)
19 Oregon Ducks Oregon is 7-1 but doesn't really have an impressive resume at all. Their best win is Northwestern (5-3) and they don't really have any other good wins.
20 Cincinnati Bearcats Cincinnati is 7-1 with a win over Iowa State (5-3, defeated Iowa)
21 Houston Cougars Houston is 7-1 with a win over Arizona State (5-3)
22 Nebraska Cornhuskers Nebraska is 6-2 with a nice win over Cincinnati (7-1). Also beat Northwestern (5-3)

24 Washington Huskies Washington is 6-2. They beat Illinois (5-3, defeated USC)
25 Iowa Hawkeyes Iowa is 6-2 and beat Minnesota (5-3, defeated Nebraska). Also considered for this spot: Navy, Tulane, Utah, Boise State, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Missouri,
