Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 27, 2026, 4:42 p.m.

Overall Rationale: USC dropped because them and Oregon are both very overrated. Oregon had lost to Oklahoma St who lost to Tulsa, who got beat down by Arkansas (that is why I almost didn’t rank Oklahoma St.)

Louisville just lost to Wake Forest who almost got beat by Purdue…

Texas A&M just lost by a ton to LSU, if it was a close game then I would still rank them.

We all saw what happened to Western Michigan yesterday.
