Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 12, 2026, 9:05 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I know some folks don't like this but you are the champ until you lose. Indiana numba 1. Then I ranked loosely on returning production and current blue chip ratio. Finally threw in some vibes because it's the preseason and none of this matters any. WELCOME BACK COLLEGE FOOTBALL WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
