MyAngelMiraidon Ballot for 2026 Week 5
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 27, 2026, 9:05 a.m.
Overall Rationale: see list
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Texas Longhorns
|
E - Even if it was close, they have two ranked wins |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
E - They haven't actually beat a really strong team but just the fact they look consistently strong is keeping them here |
| 3 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
+2 - Still have benefit of doubt by runner up position last season, and Wake Forest in retrospect looks better now |
| 4 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
-2 - Surprisingly close against Northwestern |
| 5 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
+1 - Still easily best 1 loss team. Keeping them over Bama for now with the Illinois win and Bama not having a ranked win yet |
| 6 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
+2 - Realistically like Georgia but with more questions |
| 7 |
BYU Cougars
|
E - On Bye |
| 8 |
Utah Utes
|
+3 - Said last week Iowa State would be a harder opponent, and they're showing they're legit |
| 9 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
E - Blew out Purdue. Please stay undefeated until the BYU game, that will be very interesting |
| 10 |
Florida Gators
|
NEW - Florida's record so far: Blowout FAU and a FCS team, narrowly beat Auburn which might actually be decent, win against Ole Miss. My bad for not ranking them last week |
| 11 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
-1 - Drops after a win but that's more due to Florida correction |
| 12 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
-8 - H2H with Florida and Ole Miss |
| 13 |
LSU Tigers
|
+1 - See H2H with Ole Miss |
| 14 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
+2 - Thank you for finally putting an end to Michigan |
| 15 |
Duke Blue Devils
|
-2 - Played FCS team and just happens that other teams did more this week |
| 16 |
UCLA Bruins
|
+8 - Okay so this team is actually good right? Not just me seeing this undefeated B10 team here with no really close games? |
| 17 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
NEW - Louisville win and the loss to Miami is looking increasingly better now |
| 18 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
-3 - Closer against Texas than I thought it would be, so very small drop even on loss |
| 19 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
NEW - Undefeated and beat K-State |
| 20 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
+5 - Good Missouri win |
| 21 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
HM -> NEW - Undefeated P4, even if this is dubious. Then again this was how I saw UCLA earlier |
| 22 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
HM -> NEW - Beat ranked (according to me) West Virginia. Week 1 is increasingly becoming less explainable |
| 23 |
Oregon Ducks
|
HM -> NEW - Beat ranked USC. Seeing as they were pretty similar to West Virginia in rank H2H then kicks in here |
| 24 |
Houston Cougars
|
-1 - Beat Georgia Southern, kept in ranklist due to Texas Tech close loss |
| 25 |
Nebraska Cornhuskers
|
NEW - You're undefeated, good enough reason for me. Next 10: Northwestern, Boise State, Louisville, Virginia Tech, USC, JMU, UMass, Clemson, Auburn, USF Other HM that could somehow end up top 25 next week due to chaos (not ordered): Arizona, K State , ND State, Wisconsin, Penn State, Missouri, Kentucky |
