budget_um Ballot for 2025 Week 13

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 17, 2025, 10:09 a.m.

Overall Rationale: On-field results from week-to-week, eye test for breaking circles of sicko

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes Number 1. Still never close. Only Michigan stands in their way
2 Indiana Hoosiers Stuck at 2 after close PSU game unless 1) the funny thing happens in A2, or 2) the B1G title game
3 Georgia Bulldogs Really good win against Texas; also, Bama's H2H win looks a little like UGA's Red River (it reveals nothing about the comparative value of the teams)
4 Texas Tech Red Raiders Undefeated, still! BYU win looks better
5 Texas A&M Aggies Fell a few slots for requiring a second half miracle/collapse by SC. The 'cocks have been bity, but A&M played them the worst by far.
6 Ole Miss Rebels Game was closer than the score suggests, but a good performance amid the off-field drama
7 Oklahoma Sooners Great win! Only move up 2 because the head-to-head with Ole Miss offers the ceiling
8 Oregon Ducks Dominant. It was Minnesota, but still
9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish I lend 0 credence to this game; they won, though
10 Alabama Crimson Tide They did not win. They fall, but OU is a good team, so they don't fall far
11 BYU Cougars Solid get-right game against TCU
12 Utah Utes Coming out of the bye guns blazing
13 USC Trojans Survives an Iowa team that's pulling a Nebraska in big games. Gutsy win, but USC's road doesn't get easier
14 Texas Longhorns This was a pretty lifeless game more reminiscent of mid-season Texas. It's #3, though, so floor on the fall
15 Miami Hurricanes Brought some anger against the Wolfpack. Up a few
16 Vanderbilt Commodores Bye, move up from unrelated movement
17 Michigan Wolverines Moved up despite themselves. This was an absurd net success-final score divergence, but it was that because they were -5(!) in the TO margin
18 Virginia Cavaliers Chandler Morris is back, baby. UVA's dip erased
19 James Madison Dukes Dukes! Quietly tearing up the Sun Belt
20 Tennessee Volunteers NM State. Sure, whatever
21 Tulane Green Wave H2H over UNT
22 North Texas Mean Green UNT is good, beat the UAB team that's messing with a bunch
23 Missouri Tigers Hey, that was good!
24 Iowa Hawkeyes Only team that could lose and still be ranked bc they lost like they did
25 North Dakota State Bison Welcome, FCS
