MyAngelMiraidon Ballot for 2026 Week 4

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 20, 2026, 10:24 a.m.

Overall Rationale: see list for reasons

Rank Team Reason
1 Texas Longhorns E - Ohio state win
2 Indiana Hoosiers E - defending national champs
3 Georgia Bulldogs E - Georgia (top 3 all had easy convincing wins and overall look better)
4 Ole Miss Rebels +7 - Beat LSU (good for you)
5 Miami Hurricanes -1 - I guess Wake Forest win was still pretty decisive? Ole Miss over LSU though feels very strong though so drop is more based on that
6 Ohio State Buckeyes -1 - Similar to Miami, drops 1 more due to Ole Miss winning
7 BYU Cougars E - Holds position with CO State win
8 Alabama Crimson Tide +2 - This feels less due to the Florida State win and more due to teams in front losing (well USC "won" but not really)
9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish +9 - I said last week I'd call this team legit if they ran over Michigan State. Well their defence definitely did.
10 Texas Tech Red Raiders +7 - Close win over ranked Houston, although this team feels questionable here
11 Utah Utes +3 - Iowa State next week should be interesting as a harder opponent
12 Louisville Cardinals +10 - SMU is a borderline ranked team, you won by 10 there, and the Ol' Miss loss looks actually fine
13 Duke Blue Devils +6 - Somehow beating Stanford pushes them up here
14 LSU Tigers -7 - Combination of the Ole Miss loss and Clemson win really not aging well
15 Tennessee Volunteers -2 - More due to other teams around them winning. If they beat Texas this entire list gets thrown into anarchy
16 Iowa Hawkeyes -1 - Played FCS and felt like on bye
17 USC Trojans -8 - How do you let Rutgers do this to you? Yes this is a harsher drop than LSU, and I think it's right. To be fair, at least you won unlike another team (*cough* Texas A&M)
18 Kansas State Wildcats +2 - Actually beat Tulane decisively this year
19 West Virginia Mountaineers NEW - So this team might've just sleepwalked Week 1 and might actually be good
20 Texas A&M Aggies -12 - The only reason you are still here is due to the Arizona State win
21 Penn State Nittany Lions E - Ran over Buffalo
22 Tulsa Golden Hurricane +1 - If they keep winning I'm still placing them in this list barring other weird things
23 Houston Cougars -7 - Texas Tech loss was still very close, and yes, I think that's result that should be more lenient than the whole Rutgers incident
24 UCLA Bruins E - Won against Purdue, still have questions on this team
25 Mississippi State Bulldogs NEW - Already very close and beat South Carolina, which should just about get them in

HM (still not in order): Virginia Tech, Virginia, Oklahoma State, Michigan, Oregon, Mass, ND State, Western Michigan, Boise State, Florida, Missouri, James Madison
