AoA_nB1 Ballot for 2026 Week 3

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 14, 2026, 11:44 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Balancing expectations with results

Rank Team Reason
1 Texas Longhorns Gutsy comeback, not sure if OSU lost or if UT won
2 Georgia Bulldogs Did their job
3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Did their job
4 Miami Hurricanes Did their job
5 Ohio State Buckeyes Did about everything wrong in the 2H to allow the Longhorns to come back, I still think they’re the best team in the B1G
6 Indiana Hoosiers Did their job
7 LSU Tigers Sluggish 1H, but did their job. Leavitt hopefully got the int’s out of his system before the big dance this week.
8 Ole Miss Rebels Did their job, hopefully their defense is prepared for LSU
9 USC Trojans Did their job, but I’d like to see them dominate these games like UGA, ND & Miami
10 Texas A&M Aggies One possession game late, but pulled away. Not a huge believer in the Aggies.
11 Alabama Crimson Tide Sluggish start, down at half but dominated the 2nd half
12 BYU Cougars Didn’t fully watch this game, but I think the Big12 is BYU’s to lose
13 Texas Tech Red Raiders Another sluggish game, starting to worry about the Red Raiders
14 Tennessee Volunteers Dominated a good GT program in Bobby Dodd
15 Penn State Nittany Lions Sluggish 1H, pulled away late
16 SMU Mustangs Did their job
17 Utah Utes Did their job
18 Iowa Hawkeyes Struggled against a fierce rival, still bullish on the Hawkeyes
19 Houston Cougars Fully expect them to beat TTU this Friday
20 Louisville Cardinals Did their job
21 Missouri Tigers Did their job in the Border War
22 Virginia Cavaliers Did their job
23 Boise State Broncos Did their job against a good Memphis squad
24 Michigan Wolverines Defended home turf, the forward pass was a mistake
25 Oklahoma Sooners Really debates between Oregon and OU here, but Oregon should’ve lost by 3+ possessions against Oklahoma State. Oklahoma unfortunately is the same song and dance as years past
