FrontRunner51 Ballot for 2025 Week 12

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 11, 2025, 7:08 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Combo of human and computer polls plus my own judgment

Rank Team Reason
1 Indiana Hoosiers (-)
2 Ohio State Buckeyes (-)
3 Texas A&M Aggies (-)
4 Oregon Ducks (+2)
5 Texas Tech Red Raiders (+2)
6 Alabama Crimson Tide (-1)
7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (+3) Looking impressive
8 Georgia Bulldogs (+1)
9 Utah Utes (-1)
10 USC Trojans (+4);
11 Ole Miss Rebels (-)
12 BYU Cougars (-8); tough loss, but still a solid team with a win over #9 Utah
13 Miami Hurricanes (-1)
14 Michigan Wolverines (+3); I'm not beholden to head-to-head, and I'm starting to view the early loss @Oklahoma as a slight upset
15 Oklahoma Sooners (-)
16 Texas Longhorns (-); despite head-to-head win vs. Oklahoma, they're weighed down slightly by bad loss to Florida and only barely squeeking by Miss. St. and Kentucky
17 Vanderbilt Commodores (+3)
18 Iowa Hawkeyes (+3); I know it's odd to move a team up after a loss, but they were impressive vs. a top 10 team (and been for from worse losses by teams ahead of them last week)
19 Illinois Fighting Illini (+3)
20 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (+3)
21 Louisville Cardinals (-8)
22 USF Bulls (NR)
23 Tennessee Volunteers (NR)
24 Washington Huskies (-6)
25 Cincinnati Bearcats (-1); Next up: #26 North Texas
