jtchr33 Ballot for 2026 Week 4

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 21, 2026, 9:25 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Vibes. Lots of little changes and moves. The picture is becoming a bit clearer.

Drops
Auburn; obvious
Virginia; what happened here?

Next few
Oregon; not convinced to put them back in yet, but they are close again.
Arizona State: odd game, but they did it in the end
JMU; keep them eyes on the G5

Rank Team Reason
1 Texas Longhorns
2 Ole Miss Rebels Wow, what a game and win. Going to reward this and see where it takes them.
3 Indiana Hoosiers
4 Miami Hurricanes Some cracks are starting to show, but hard to convince me the won't be in the ACC title game
5 Georgia Bulldogs
6 BYU Cougars
7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Do I think ND is a top 7 school, not right now. They are on that edge of undefeated and don't look bad. Almost see them as the end of Tier 1 of schools right now.
8 LSU Tigers By far the hardest ranking this week. Have them over OSU due to the competitiveness throughout the game. That schedule is tough, expect this team to move a lot, I think it will be a bumpy path.
9 Ohio State Buckeyes Still look good, don't want to move them up yet, but will expect them to win and move because others lose. That Iowa game is going to be a big trap if they are not prepared for it.
10 Penn State Nittany Lions
11 Louisville Cardinals Another amazing game, but they were in full control of.
12 Utah Utes I don't know how good or bad this team is yet. Next week will tell me, Iowa State could roll them over defensively and it could be bad or they survive and still look good for the big 12 championship game.
13 Texas Tech Red Raiders Another amazing game this week. Both teams looked good in different ways.
14 Tennessee Volunteers
15 Houston Cougars Not punishing much for controlling and almost having a chance to go to OT. They will have more chances.
16 SMU Mustangs Similar to Houston, but didn't look as good as them.
17 Iowa Hawkeyes Ok fine, I will give you some respect, next two games are really interesting. I thing Michigan should be a easier win, but OSU...that could be a fun game again for them.
18 Texas A&M Aggies hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I had an intern on my team say that A&M was turning a corner and was going to get out of their normal years. I want to laugh more this season.
19 Alabama Crimson Tide I still don't think you are as good as everyone thinks, and no, I don't think you will prove me wrong.
20 North Dakota State Bison
21 Florida Gators Wasn't expecting them to win this game.
22 Missouri Tigers idk what to do with you still.
23 USC Trojans winner of them and Oregon will be ranked.
24 Boise State Broncos
25 Virginia Tech Hokies Interesting team so far, keeping an eye on them.
