HideNZeke Ballot for 2026 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 8, 2026, 10:01 a.m.

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes I didn't put them at #1 week one because they had some more reloading to do than others, but it's pretty clear they reload insanely well
2 Georgia Bulldogs
3 Miami Hurricanes Hard to watch them and not like them
4 LSU Tigers Easy to hate them but they have a lot of talent coming in and even Leavitt, who I have been skeptical on as an ASU fan, looked really good
5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Not quite the dominance I wanted to see
6 Indiana Hoosiers
7 Texas Longhorns I try to be an Arch liker but I definitely have some reservations. They win next week and they're number 1
8 Oregon Ducks Cold start even if BSU isn't awful
9 Ole Miss Rebels I had this team lower than most, but I also had Louisville higher than most. They earned the top spot of tier 2 SEC teams for now
10 Oklahoma Sooners
11 Texas A&M Aggies
12 USC Trojans I like Maivia a lot, they could pass the SEC hump ahead of them if I can buy in fully to their defense
13 Penn State Nittany Lions First season coaches are a blessing in the transfer portal era, and their amount of experience is worth respecting
14 BYU Cougars
15 Alabama Crimson Tide Arbitrarily flipped them and TTU because it's neck and neck
16 Texas Tech Red Raiders
17 Louisville Cardinals Still like em
18 Iowa Hawkeyes We are probably not this good, but the "Iowa has no offense" jokes are going to be from people who haven't paid attention. There are some red flags in both QBs, and our special teams will be weirdly bad, but we should be solid
19 Tennessee Volunteers No strong opinion tbh
20 Arizona Wildcats Ditto
21 Utah Utes Liked the QB
22 Washington Huskies Not the start you wanted
23 SMU Mustangs Too many turnovers
24 Boise State Broncos Quality loss, that's more interesting to me than beating up some bums
25 Arizona State Sun Devils Beat up some bums but it's hard to say they didn't look phenomenal. This could be the new ISU that shuffles from good to mediocre to good on a yearly basis. I liked this performance more than Houston's, who I had arbitrarily high before
