Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 22, 2026, 10:34 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Every five teams make up one tier, for a total of five tiers overall. I'd like to shake up things a bit more, but it's late, and I'm tired after a long weekend...so I'll save the changeups for next week, sorry!
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 2 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Am I perhaps ranking Indiana a bit TOO high? Well...I guess I should rather be amused that college football has reached the point where I need to question INDIANA for benefiting too much off a natty season lol |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 4 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 5 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Are the Rebs ACTUALLY better than the likes of Miami or Ohio State? I...probably won't argue for that...BUT WHATEVER, IT IS CATHARIC!! THE EVIL JOEY FRESHWATER HAS BEEN HUMILATED THIS WEEKEND, SO LET'S CELEBRATE IT FOR NOW!! |
| 6 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 7 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 8 |
USC Trojans
|
Duck vs. Trojan...time to see who's gets exposed big time... |
| 9 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 10 |
BYU Cougars
|
|
| 11 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Should I move them down more for being mere inches (if not smaller) away from losing? I mean, a ranked win IS a ranked win...but still... |
| 12 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 13 |
LSU Tigers
|
They'd probably be even MORE down if Texas A&M didn't lose as well... |
| 14 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 15 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 16 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Cardinals...how foolish was I not to give ye the proper respect before... |
| 17 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
|
| 18 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
|
| 19 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
I'm still...considerably perplexed at how better Miss State has looked out of nowhere... |
| 20 |
SMU Mustangs
|
|
| 21 |
Tulsa Golden Hurricane
|
Beating the team that beat Oregon is probably better than being a team that directly LOST to Oregon...maybe not the best reasoning, but at least it's logical? |
| 22 |
Boise State Broncos
|
BRONCO vs. BRONCO. KALAMAZOO vs. BOISE. BEER vs. POTATO. SHOULD HAVE BEATEN A B1G TEAM vs. SHOULD HAVE BEATEN A B1G TEAM. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS! (also, Boise is probably better than Tulsa, but I was NOT impressed by how much they struggled against South Dakota...guess they'll just have to beat WMU to reclaim their throne again, ah?) |
| 23 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 24 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Am I still being biased for not ranking Michigan - especially as I concede to putting Oregon back on? Eh...yes, at least a little bit. But then again, that Oklahoma win is starting to not age well for the Wolverines...so that's why I can be more comfortable putting the Ducks in the Top 25 again. |
| 25 |
Houston Cougars
|
Beware the Coogs...they can surprise you in December... |
