Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 1, 2025, 11:34 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Oh, so everybody sucks, okay cool, got it. BYU @ Texas Tech is a top-five vs top-five game and I won't hear otherwise. Louisville is still scheduled for a dumb playoff-dream-dashing loss at some point but it didn't happen this week, and in the meantime they get to be a top-ten team. That's partly because James Madison has been obliterating everything in their way lately, and in a just world would be the clear G5 playoff favorite right now. Also has anybody else noticed that Pitt is 7-2 with losses to *mumble mumble* and Louisville? That resume gets you ranked in the SEC and for me it's gonna get 'em ranked here. Panthers for the playoff, who says no? (Aside from their remaining schedule. Oh god PLEASE don't look at their remaining schedule.)
