Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 2, 2025, 9:55 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Bias: Go to TAMU, grew up ASU fan Gonna keep writing short unless anyone tells me they read these. I'm u/FlashSpider-man on reddit. Trying to go based on results and not as much based on expectations. Should stress reevaluating and not keeping a team high cause they started high or played a team that started high but isn't good. May start off pretty random though due to no background knowledge

I've been high on the big XII, and thats a bit biased. Ultimately, though, I don't think they lose the ASU game of their starting qb is healthy. They've ran through everybody else. Don't sleep on TTU. |

I don't love this ranking. Feels like they've done nothing to earn it. Northwestern is the only team they've beaten that has won multiple conference games (no, I'm not counting Montana State). I don't feel I can be so different as to drop them much, with only 3 other 1 loss p4 teams below them, but I don't feel they've earned this. They got a tough schedule ahead though so we will get to see. |

Idk what to think about the ACC. It doesn't seem good. 4.5 ACC teams idk how to rank. With GT losing, I have to look at who they've faced and see their best won is Duke, which is basically the only decent team they've faced. At least UVA has the Lousiville win. Miami is the only one with a good win, I guess, over ND, but lost to Lousiville. This kinda feels like a jumble of mid teams who haven't gotten many opportunities to prove themselves. But maybe I'm wrong and the ACC is better than I think overall. |

I've been low on texas after 2 near losses to bad teams. But, ultimately, good teams find ways to win games, ugly or not. They have good wins now and that outweighs bad wins. |

Vanderbilt Commodores

These 3 B1G teams are interchangeable, so they get ranked by head 2 head. You could make other arguments, based on things like Illinois, but I'll take the simplest. |

Michigan Wolverines

Washington Huskies

Missouri Tigers

Right now, their best win is KU or Auburn. But SEC patented quality losses. They haven't shown anything yet but both their losses were close so they get to be ranked. Similarly, Tennessee's best win is Miss State. 3 quality losses, sure, but with no good wins, I am not ranking them. Should they have beaten UGA? Probably but they didn't. |
| 23 |
Memphis Tigers
|
|
| 24 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
|
| 25 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Houston, TCU, and Pitt are the 3 2 loss p4 teams to not make it. Just missed it. First 2 each have 1 good win, but it can't outweigh the bad losses. Pitt have no good wins but a gauntlet coming up. |
