Real-Plant-5722 Ballot for 2026 Week 5

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 29, 2026, 1:08 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Every time I think a team is good, they prove me wrong. This is all still just gut feelings; rewarding the wins on the field; trying to remain unbiased, but probably still a little biased.

Rank Team Reason
1 Indiana Hoosiers They certainly don't look like the best team in the country, but the champs stay put until proven otherwise.
2 Texas Longhorns Feels like they're actually the best team in the country.
3 Miami Hurricanes They also continue to look really good and may be the best team in the country.
4 Georgia Bulldogs Haven't had to show much so far, but they could sneakily be the best team in the country?
5 Florida Gators They've been very impressive, real best-team-in-the-country potential.
6 Ohio State Buckeyes They'd probably be favored against every other team in the country, which I guess would make them the best team in the country?
7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish They are not the best team in the country, probably somewhere around seventh best.
8 Utah Utes I dunno.
9 Ole Miss Rebels They beat LSU.
10 LSU Tigers They lost to Ole Miss.
11 Iowa Hawkeyes The Big10 West is alive and well.
12 Texas Tech Red Raiders I dunno.
13 Mississippi State Bulldogs Please beat Bama.
14 Alabama Crimson Tide Probably gonna walk the Dogs...
15 Houston Cougars I dunno.
16 BYU Cougars I dunno.
17 UCLA Bruins They're fun!
18 Missouri Tigers Meh.
19 Louisville Cardinals I severely overrated them.
20 SMU Mustangs They lost to Louisville.
21 Tennessee Volunteers Put up a fight against UT, kinda.
22 Oklahoma State Cowboys Finally seeing some offense.
23 Oregon Ducks See above.
24 Boise State Broncos See above.
25 North Dakota State Bison 13-0 on the table.
