Euphoric_Relative_13 Ballot for 2025 Week 12

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 9, 2025, 1:13 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Hey guys, I remembered to write my reasons AND get it out for the AP Poll! (Narrator's note: He did not get it out before the AP Poll)

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes Ohio State is now 9-0, and since playing the then-No. 1 team in the country, they have won every game by at least three scores. And Texas is "back" (I hate saying that), so with Indiana's close wins, they should stay No. 1
2 Indiana Hoosiers Indiana is undefeated because of the greatest catch I have ever seen live. I'm almost tempted to drop them, but A&M has had its fair share of close games against actually bad teams.
3 Texas A&M Aggies The "worst" undefeated team remains, although arguments to rank them higher, such as 2 or 1, would be logically sound.
4 Alabama Crimson Tide That loss to FSU looks worse and worse every week. But Bama has more than made up for it, and has some nice head-to-head wins as well.
5 Georgia Bulldogs It was close for a quarter! And then it wasn't. But Georgia fans will be happy because at least it wasn't close at halftime.
6 Oregon Ducks I hate this being true, but Oregon has firmly established itself as a true B1G team with some of these games. Maybe Eugene, Oregon, is an enclave of the Midwest.
7 Texas Tech Red Raiders Texas Tech is back to being the best XII team (XII is way cooler than B12), and similarly to Alabama, that one away loss in what appears to be an absolute Frankenstein of a game can be easily forgiven.
8 Ole Miss Rebels I legit thought Ole Miss was on a bye this week. After seeing that they played a game today, I realized that they were.
9 Texas Longhorns Stand in for "on a bye"
10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Continued their tradition of celebrating Emperor Hirohito by decimating the US Navy
11 BYU Cougars Alright, BYU, you got this! You can still make the CFP! Just don't. Fuck. It. Up.
12 Oklahoma Sooners See Texas
13 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets See Tex- oh my God, what the fuck...
14 Vanderbilt Commodores No worries, Vandy, playing Auburn in an odd year when they have nothing to lose is bound to result in a game like this. Just don't mess up against a kinda-hot Kentucky and the one school that doesn't fall for the "aww, it's Vandy!" shtick. Source: Tennessee fans I've met.
15 Utah Utes See Texas
16 USC Trojans Best B1G team outside of the top 3.
17 Michigan Wolverines Second-best B1G team outside of the top 3.
18 Virginia Cavaliers ...happened...
19 Louisville Cardinals ...to...
20 James Madison Dukes Oh my goodness! The American DID fuck it up!
21 Miami Hurricanes ...the ACC? Keeping them here because they are equal on losses with UVA and Louisville, so head-to-head comes in play.
22 Tulane Green Wave Newest hot AAC team of the week because of beating last week's hot team.
23 Pittsburgh Panthers This is the worst thing I've ever had to do.
24 North Texas Mean Green Newest hot AAC team of the week because of only having one loss.
25 Cincinnati Bearcats Welcome back... somehow.
