Pikachu1989 Ballot for 2025 Week 16 & Bowls

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Dec. 9, 2025, 5:03 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Alright, we finally got to the Conference Championship Weekend and must say that it was a crazy week to be had. First off was James Madison and they played well where they beat Troy. Then Tulane came in and beat North Texas in the winner punching their ticket to the CFP. But then the Saturday slate came in and the early returns weren’t looking good as Texas Tech obliterated BYU in the Big XII Championship Game and Georgia took care of business against Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. But it was made up with Indiana beating Ohio State for the first time in forever and winning the B1G Championship Game and Indiana for the first time getting #1 in CFB, and then a shocker happened in the ACC Championship Game where Duke who was a 5 Loss team beat Virginia and with that loss allowed James Madison to get into the CFP. What a weekend it was and now we head into bowl season and CFP on the line. With that I unfortunately had to drop Tennessee and put in Duke since they won the ACC Championship and thus needed to be in the Top 25. What a season it was and can’t wait to see how the Bowls will end up. That said the first 12 teams will be based off the CFP and will go accordingly, and despite my personal feelings on Alabama and making it, need to follow protocol from last season when the 12 team CFP was implemented and follow that.
