Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 10, 2025, 9:41 a.m.
Overall Rationale: What I would rank the CFP
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Still number 1 until they lose |
| 2 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Unless they somehow lose to a horrible fcs team the Aggies are playoff bound |
| 3 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Have looked shaky but good win regardless against Penn state |
| 4 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Probably the SEC favorite right now |
| 5 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
can they beat Texas and GT to finish strong? |
| 6 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Their B team beat Iowa on the road, that’s a great win |
| 7 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
A playoff lock |
| 8 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
10-2 and they host a playoff game |
| 9 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Can they fight their way into a bye? |
| 10 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Playoffs are very doable if they can upset bama again |
| 11 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Only behind OU still because Mateer was hurt, have looked better lately |
| 12 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
The ACC being bad is helping GT a lot |
| 13 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
The game against Tennessee is a playoff game |
| 14 |
BYU Cougars
|
Bad L to tech but very much alive |
| 15 |
Utah Utes
|
Is 10-2 enough to be in? |
| 16 |
USC Trojans
|
If they can beat Iowa and Oregon they’re a playoff team for the first time under Lincoln |
| 17 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
Horrible L, still above Louisville but need to win ACC |
| 18 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
horrible L, still below UVA ,need to win ACC |
| 19 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Below Louisville because of H2H, win against ND might save them at 10-2 if ACC can get 2 bids in |
| 20 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
No good wins but no bad L’s either, probably not a real top 25 team |
| 21 |
USF Bulls
|
My G5 pick as of rn (I know Memphis won the h2h but the American is chaos right now) only navy is a “challenge” left |
| 22 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Probably shouldn’t be ranked but with no bad L’s had no one else to put |
| 23 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
No good W’s but 7-2 is 7-2 |
| 24 |
James Madison Dukes
|
If the American continues to take each other out they’re very alive for the G5 spot |
| 25 |
Connecticut Huskies
|
idk how they don’t have a single AP vote, 7-3 is 7-3 and the qb has been amazing. Shoutout Jim Mora |
