Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Nov. 11, 2025, 2:16 a.m.
Overall Rationale: SCF with terrible scaling as always. Limited to 2 loss schools, with some really weird results. Mostly caused by Louisville loss creating a near impossible queue area that will keep some solid teams out. Oh well. I agree with it up to the Top 14.

Apparently a win to Iowa at Kinnick finally convinced my model. Between this and the next Ohio and Southern Miss were culled. |

Bad loss, good wins. |

Georgia Bulldogs

Alabama limited. |

Ranked so low because bye week for NCSU and GT allows for no corrections. Notable omissions all caused by loss tree from horrendous fall by Louisville, taking Pitt, JMU, Miami (FL), USF, Notre Dame and Michigan (of note) with it. |
