jtchr33 Ballot for 2026 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 9, 2026, 9:58 a.m.

Overall Rationale:
#DoItForDerek
Time to overreact
Western Michigan won that game.
Keeping eyes on the G5, already a lot of good OoO games between them. There may be better stuff at the top there than in the middle of power conferences.

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes Revenge tour continues possibly. Great start.
2 Indiana Hoosiers I underestimated this team. Man did they look great.
3 Miami Hurricanes Great start, better than the teams I had previously above them.
4 Ole Miss Rebels Great game, both teams look good
5 Texas Longhorns Next week will tell me all I need to know
6 Georgia Bulldogs
7 BYU Cougars
8 LSU Tigers Another team I underestimated (And ranked loser due to everything else) still hate them, wonder where they will go from here.
9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Odd game, not sure how good they are yet.
10 Oregon Ducks That was close, kinda wanted the upset. Rough start for Oregon, what will they do next.
11 Penn State Nittany Lions It is very hard to see an entire team do well where you know a large portion of the players were previously on your team.
Debut went good for them, need to keep that momentum throughout non conference to convince me.
12 Texas A&M Aggies No idea how good or bad they are yet.
13 Texas Tech Red Raiders Good start. Don't have any good reason to move them up or down yet.
14 Utah Utes
15 Alabama Crimson Tide I don't know exactly what to think, but I want to say trending down.
16 Louisville Cardinals 2nd best ACC team, great game rewarding them for that.
17 Oklahoma Sooners Make Michigan start 0-2 plz
18 Houston Cougars
19 Tennessee Volunteers
20 SMU Mustangs What the hell was that. Why...just why.
21 Iowa Hawkeyes #DoItForDerek

Besides...that. Interesting start, the QB experiment is still interesting, but that RB is good. Very excited for the in state rivalry game. Iowa State's defense should do better that UNI's on the run, may have to force Iowa to actually pick a QB.
22 Virginia Cavaliers Most impressive win week 0, not even close.
23 North Dakota State Bison A dangerous, hungry team ready to eat up the conference and the FBS. They look scary.
24 Memphis Tigers Another G5, there is a lot of good at the top this year and already a lot of good games to start, this should be a good one.
25 Auburn Tigers Partial reluctance from last week, partial props to resilience to stop when they needed to at literary the last second.
