Submitted: Oct. 26, 2025, 10:02 a.m.

Overall Rationale: The poll is a combination of win%, opponent win%, opponent opponent's win%, and point differential. Wins over FCS teams functionally do not exist for any part of the model, the various win%s mentioned included as well as point differential. Losses to FCS teams are included as regular games, Team-by-team reasons are Rank%, previous rank, and change from last week. For example, a few weeks ago, Texas Tech had a .922 rating. They were 7th the prior week, and moved up three spots, so their reason read ".922, 7, 3". New this week: #22 Iowa, #24 Washington, and #25 Memphis. Dropped out includes: #28 James Madison, from #24, #32 Missouri, from #21, and #37 Illinois, from #25.
