Comit22 Ballot for 2025 Week 13
Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Nov. 16, 2025, 1:41 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Dropped: #16 Louisville, #23 Cincinnati Next Up: Louisville, Arizona St, Navy, Tulane, Arizona Some weird results this week that required manual correction (my method wanted Oklahoma 2 spots below Alabama on a technicality, Houston and Virginia would've been left out, Illinois would've jumped up a bunch, etc.). The tiers as I seem them are the 4 locks for the CFP, then TTU through Oregon are all various levels of likely but needing to avoid a loss, and then the trio of Utah, USC, and Michigan are the last hopefuls (with USC and Michigan probably controlling their own destiny since they play Oregon and Ohio St and wins there probably get them in, Utah needs a lot of things to break their way). North Texas and James Madison remain neck and neck to me and I think that one of them will get the last CFP slot (North Texas if they win out, JMU needs a North Texas loss). As for the ACC, Georgia Tech controls their own destiny but nothing else is certain. Considering that Tech has to play Georgia and how highly I have James Madison and North Texas ranked, I think there's a real possibility the ACC gets left out entirely if things manage to break the wrong way.
