Jakesnake42 Ballot for 2025 Week 11

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 3, 2025, 7:24 p.m.

Overall Rationale: With the playoff rankings a day away I move towards a more traditional (at least for me) resume-centered ballot. So there will be some shakeups from last week.

Rank Team Reason
1 Indiana Hoosiers Best win in the Nation AT Oregon gets them the right to topple the defending champs. Last Week: #2
2 Ohio State Buckeyes Thankfully for Ohio State that Texas win is finally starting to age well again (arguably still the "best" team in the country. Last Week: #1
3 Texas A&M Aggies Like Ohio State, has an OOC win that has aged well in beating Notre Dame. Last Week: #3
4 BYU Cougars That Utah win is aging incredibly and it is good enough to keep them above all the teams that have losses. Last Week: #6
5 Alabama Crimson Tide Onto our first H2H train here in the SEC. Last Week: #4
6 Georgia Bulldogs Last Week: #5
7 Ole Miss Rebels Last Week: #10
8 Texas Tech Red Raiders Like BYU that win over Utah is aging very well. Last Week: #12
9 Oregon Ducks Oregon's lack of any sort of top win really keeps them from being higher even with the great advanced metrics. Last Week: #7
10 Virginia Cavaliers I don't want to rank them this high but they here is a H2H train that goes to #12. Last Week: #19
11 Louisville Cardinals Last Week: #20
12 Miami Hurricanes Yes I know they lost again last week SMU is NOT bad. Last Week: #11
13 Texas Longhorns Way too early to write off this Texas team and now Arch is showing up with their win over Vandy. Last Week: #14
14 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Another team people wrote off early but here we are the ND playoff case is coming in hot. Last Week: #13
15 USC Trojans Last Week: #21
16 Oklahoma Sooners We love good OOC wins and that is exactly what OU has against Michigan. Last Week: #15
17 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets If you wanna hate on a 1 loss power conference team for being this low i suggest you look at their schedule. Last Week: #9
18 Utah Utes One of the most DOMINANT teams in the country, lacking the elite wins but just keep winning and that shot will come. Last Week: NR
19 Vanderbilt Commodores Some solid wins so far this year but nothing that stands out too crazy so far. Last Week: #8
20 Michigan Wolverines Nice H2H win over UW gets them in the rankings. Last Week: #22
21 Washington Huskies Solid metrics and decent enough wins. Last Week: #23
22 Cincinnati Bearcats Similar story here as well. Last Week: #16
23 Missouri Tigers Like Utah, great metrics but no strong wins. Last Week: #17
24 Iowa Hawkeyes Read Missouri excerpt. Last Week: NR
25 Memphis Tigers Best body of work in the G5 so far. Last Week: NR Dropped: #18 Tennessee, #24 Houston, #25 Tulane
