Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Dec. 7, 2025, 1:45 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Eyes/Resume/Guts
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
|
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Give the nod over OSU to a conference champion who beat a quality opponent handily in their ccg. |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Can't blame anyone for putting them over UGA, but I was expecting a better offensive performance from them in the ccg—not to take anything away from Indiana's fantastic defense. |
| 4 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
|
| 5 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Giving them the slight nod over the Rebels based on reevaluating their loss to Indiana and Ole Miss's coaching instability |
| 6 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 7 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Yes, I do believe head to heads matter. I just don't believe they should be used as trump cards—especially when those games take place early in the season and are very close. Notre Dame has just looked better than TAMU and Miami over the last 10 games. Simple as. |
| 8 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
I think Texas exposed how soft this team has gotten after their lackluster conference schedule. We will see if they can bounce back like OSU did last season. |
| 9 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 10 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Lost two games they really shouldn't have, and those losses outweigh their quality wins just a bit in my eyes. I think they are tough enough to compete when the stakes are highest and they are at their best, though. |
| 11 |
BYU Cougars
|
You can lose twice to a top 5 team, but you gotta make at least one of those games look competitive. |
| 12 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
They started the season with an uncompetitive loss and ended it the same way. Combined with how lackadasical they looked vs Oklahoma and Auburn recently, the commitee rigging them into the playoff is a travesty. |
