beckett929 Ballot for 2026 Week 4
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 20, 2026, 12:33 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Texas stays at #1, but Top 12 are not in any super specific order but would be my playoff teams today after 3 games and what they've shown and against who.
Louisville's loss to Ole Miss doesn't look that different than Ohio State's to Texas, and says a lot more about Ole Miss.
I was a late arrival to Florida, but they've got something I was missing. Not sure what to make of Tennessee. Feel good about the rest of the teens so far this year.
USC can't be screwing around with Rutgers and not expect to get dinged for it. Good wins by State, Kentucky, and some of the old Big East. I was shy on A&M the first few polls, and my concerns came to life this week, but they've got talent.
I'm still not rewarding Michigan, or giving Oregon any grace just because they ran it up on Portland State.
