Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 21, 2026, 10:49 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Alright, so week 3 is in the books and it was another week of entertainment. Texas Tech had a scare against Houston but they got by, SMU getting upset by Louisville. Virginia also getting upset by West Virginia. But the biggest shock was when Kentucky upset Texas A&M and defeated them easily. It was a crazy thought seeing that happen, but hey it’s a new season. Now we head into Conference Play and it’s gonna be crazy once October rolls around
