ColombianInIowa24 Ballot for 2026 Week 4

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 22, 2026, 9:54 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Computer swap mechanisms with random swaps used to fill in unknowns based on past season data outcomes and then recombined in Monte Carlo. I added a model is confident in ranked status, to certify that all runs within a standard deviation from the mean resulted in a ranked status.

Rank Team Reason
1 USC Trojans They have been boosted for awhile for having more games. Confident of ranked status.
2 Duke Blue Devils High rank is retained. I ain't complaining this time, we should be ranked, though not this high. Confident of ranked status.
3 Texas Longhorns Appropriate. Confident of ranked status.
4 Ole Miss Rebels Appropriate. Confident of ranked status.
5 Alabama Crimson Tide
6 Pittsburgh Panthers MOV would help.
7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Appropriate. Confident of ranked status.
8 Washington Huskies
9 Western Michigan Broncos A little high.
10 UCLA Bruins
11 Florida Gators
12 Tulsa Golden Hurricane
13 Texas Tech Red Raiders
14 Penn State Nittany Lions
15 BYU Cougars
16 Missouri Tigers
17 Mississippi State Bulldogs
18 USF Bulls
19 Indiana Hoosiers No good opponents has guaranteed the Hoosiers remain ranked but not in a consistent spot.
20 Virginia Tech Hokies
21 James Madison Dukes
22 West Virginia Mountaineers
23 Kansas State Wildcats
24 North Dakota State Bison
25 Kentucky Wildcats Notable Omissions: #35 Georgia (I have no clue why their RNG is so bad besides terrible opponents), #36 Ohio State (loss overly punishes them in few games, with last week rankings fall being hard to overcome over winning teams), #38 Tennessee (I have no SEC bias), #34 Utah, #44 Louisville (see Ohio State), #29 Michigan (see Week 1 game), #(really low) SMU (lost to a team with a loss, basically a death sentence at this point), #28 Iowa (bad RNG), #26 LSU (bad RNG), #31 Miami (FL) (really bad RNG and opponents wtf). Texas A&M is not notable.
