jalexjsmithj Ballot for 2026 Week 3
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 14, 2026, 11:01 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Big 12 Bias - anecdotal resume ranking based on pre-season expectations. It’s week 2 so transitive wins still very much matter (for now). If resume is tied, will then defer to a power rank between only those 2 teams.
