Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 14, 2026, 12:35 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Worlds greatest poll back at it again lets goo
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Texas Longhorns
|
(+3) This season is going to be like a party for someone before they go off to war. Arch going to the Browns being the war |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
(-1) C-USA win |
| 3 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
(=) Howard kickoff |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
(-2) I always say that Ohio State fans are too harsh on Ryan Day and then he pulls out the matt lafleur special |
| 5 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
(+1) this schedule is easy as hell they were right |
| 6 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
(+2) I was wrong about ASU |
| 7 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
(=) If they don't win the ACC this year its simply just never happening |
| 8 |
BYU Cougars
|
(+1) Good win over Arizona to start off B12 play. Should be 5-0 for a top 10 matchup against Notre Dame. Must see game |
| 9 |
LSU Tigers
|
(+1) omg its the week we've all been waiting for |
| 10 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
(+1) it was close for about 30 minutes. Thats an improvement for Kentucky |
| 11 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
(+2) Honestly been disappointed with them so far. ASU is 0-3 so far, and you should hope to be definitively better than OSU if you want to do something in the playoffs, let alone make them. Not panicking yet, but need improvement |
| 12 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
(+4) Everyone else was right to rank them this high, and I was wrong. I apologize, go beat LSU |
| 13 |
USC Trojans
|
(+1) 4-0 start |
| 14 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
(+1) Good win over GT. |
| 15 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
(+3) LOCK IN RICH ROD WE HAVE TO DEFEND THE SONG |
| 16 |
Houston Cougars
|
(+4) There was a brief period in 2024 when they hired Willie Fritz and they were bad and I thought that he was a bust. Just so you know how much value to put in these rankings |
| 17 |
Utah Utes
|
(+6) 28 rushes for 61 yards is crazy run defense. Scary game to end the season for WVU |
| 18 |
North Dakota State Bison
|
(+3) Still wondering why Sac State is in the MAC rather than the MWC. Oh well, still gonna be a win for NDSU |
| 19 |
Washington Huskies
|
(=) Little concerning of a game, but USU was just a few bounces in their 2 games from a 2-0 start. Much to think about |
| 20 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
(-8) ????????????????????????????????????????? |
| 21 |
SMU Mustangs
|
(+1) Really front-loaded schedule. FSU & Louisville to start the season, then only really Virginia & Notre Dame for the rest. Maybe VT and perhaps Syracuse are thought of as good by the time they play, but not that much to be afraid of here |
| 22 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
(+2) 2 TDs, 5 Field goals. What a game. |
| 23 |
Missouri Tigers
|
(NEW) Fine, I will rank you finally |
| 24 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
(NEW) Now that I have the conventionally agreed upon ranking of Ole Miss, I can safely put Louisville in my top-25 with a loss |
| 25 |
New Mexico Lobos
|
(NEW) Overreacted by taking them out and putting in Memphis. Will not happen again |
