Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 28, 2025, 10:37 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Every five teams make up one tier, for a total of five tiers overall. Also, decided to "reorganize" a bit after unfortunately missing out last week...
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 2 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Honestly, I'm starting to wonder what is keeping the Hoosiers from NOT being #1 (apart from tOSU being the defending champs)... |
| 3 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
|
| 4 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Gotta say, do I value Alabama having more ranked wins than Oregon, or Oregon having an ultimately "better" loss then Alabama? |
| 5 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
...eh, Florida State falling off a cliff unfortunately harms them more... |
| 6 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
...and, in turn, it hurts the Dawgs a bit... |
| 7 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
|
| 8 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 9 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
|
| 10 |
BYU Cougars
|
Cougars...I'm sorry for doubting thee... |
| 11 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 12 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 13 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
|
| 14 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 15 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
The Hoos do NOT look or feel like a team in the Top 15...but alas, winning when everyone else around you loses helps your case a whole deal... |
| 16 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
...especially since Louisville's (home) loss to them is probably the only thing that keeps them behind... |
| 17 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
|
| 18 |
Texas Longhorns
|
tbh, it's true that they shouldn't be SO high...but honestly, the resume has...improved as of late... |
| 19 |
Missouri Tigers
|
|
| 20 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 21 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 22 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 23 |
Memphis Tigers
|
AACtion-packed cannibalism! Also...I wonder how much of an anchor that UAB loss will be moving forward... |
| 24 |
Houston Cougars
|
|
| 25 |
USC Trojans
|
...maybe doesn't have a high ceiling compared to Washington, but having an extra win against a ranked team (Michigan) helps their floor... |
