Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Dec. 1, 2025, 8:59 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Huh... The computer has bewildered me this year. Prior to the Oregon vs Penn State game. The computer had them at around 17th. After that loss they dropped out to around 35th. And then after the Northwestern and UCLA losses they were in the 50s. Somehow they've climbed back up to top 25. 26th ranked efficiency offense, 1st ranked special teams, 17th inFPI, 23rd in game control, and 17th in TeamRank predictive team rankings. So i guess the stats are there to support it. But feels gross having them in the top 25 at 6-6
