Submitted: Sept. 13, 2026, 8:47 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Resume should be the most important thing, but after only 2 weeks there's not a lot of data points. Still, you can see there's a lot of teams expected to be mid (UNC, Auburn, Colorado, Duke) that get ranked because they're one of the few teams to have a decent win.
