FrontRunner51 Ballot for 2025 Week 13

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 18, 2025, 9:06 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 Tech Red Raiders (+2); Continuing to look strong in their wins
4 Texas A&M Aggies (-1); I can't I see that first half against a far inferior opponent. Their schedule has been very easy (other than ND), so there's less margin for error.
5 Oregon Ducks (-1)
6 Georgia Bulldogs (+2)
7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-)
8 Utah Utes (+1)
9 BYU Cougars (+3); Continuing to dominate against their easier opponents. Have them just below Utah despite head-to-head due to how badly they got blown out by Texas Tech (and they only barely beat Utah at home).
10 Alabama Crimson Tide (-4); This feels generous, but still getting a boost from the win @ Georgia, which looks better.
11 Ole Miss Rebels (-)
12 USC Trojans (-2)
13 Miami Hurricanes (-)
14 Oklahoma Sooners (+1); This feels a little low, but the bad loss to Texas is dragging them down a bit. Anywhere in the 10-14 range seems reasonable.
15 Michigan Wolverines (-1)
16 Vanderbilt Commodores (+1)
17 Illinois Fighting Illini (+2)
18 Texas Longhorns (-2); Not penalizing them too heavily
19 Washington Huskies (+5)
20 North Texas Mean Green (NR)
21 Iowa Hawkeyes (-3)
22 Tennessee Volunteers (+1)
23 Arizona Wildcats (NR)
24 Virginia Cavaliers (NR)
25 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (-5); Kind of the same boat as A&M, looking beyond the W/L, that was not an encouraging performance.
