Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 9, 2026, 9:34 a.m.

Overall Rationale: i wish they’d throw my poll out until like week 6 tbh. i try to only use this years results. using general conference strength as to which wins are good vs bad. P4 win >> PAC, MWC, American > Sun Belt > MAC, CUSA. FCS wins are worthless to me. i restart each week so this will change 100% next week.
