FrontRunner51 Ballot for 2025 Week 15

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Dec. 2, 2025, 8:49 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 Oregon Ducks (-)
4 Texas Tech Red Raiders (+2) Continuing to look dangerous
5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-1)
6 Georgia Bulldogs (+1)
7 BYU Cougars (+1)
8 Utah Utes (+1)
9 Miami Hurricanes (+3) Strong performances outside of their two close losses to decent teams. Should be in the playoff but probably won't be.
10 Texas A&M Aggies (-5) They should be very thankful they squeaked by Notre Dame to start the year because there's been nothing notable about them since.
11 Ole Miss Rebels (-)
12 Oklahoma Sooners (+1)
13 Alabama Crimson Tide (-3) Loss to FSU looks worse, struggled against weak Auburn team. If they can beat Georgia again that will likely give them a lift back into top 10.
14 USC Trojans (-)
15 Vanderbilt Commodores (+1)
16 Michigan Wolverines (-1)
17 Iowa Hawkeyes (+4) Lack an impressive win, but very close losses to 3 top 15 teams plus 8-4 Iowa St (who I have in 26-30 range).
18 Texas Longhorns (+1) Not getting a huge boost because I'm still not sure how impressive beating A&M is. Plus barely beating Kentucky and MSU.
19 Arizona Wildcats (+3)
20 North Texas Mean Green (-2)
21 Washington Huskies (-4)
22 Virginia Cavaliers (NR)
23 James Madison Dukes (+2)
24 USF Bulls (NR)
25 Illinois Fighting Illini (NR)
