Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 28, 2026, 11:22 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Every five teams make up one tier, for a total of five tiers overall. HERE IS THE PROMISED SHAKEUP (kind of)...A BIT SUBJECTED TO NOT HAVING AS MUCH TIME AS I WOULD LIKE TO REALLY LOOK AT THINGS BECAUSE I'M STARTING A NEW JOB TUESDAY MORNING (yayyyyy)...BUT A CHANGE UP NONETHELESS. WHAT A FUN SEPTEMBER IT HAS BEEN!!!
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 3 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 4 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 5 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Ok, fine...I might have ranked Indiana a little TOO highly on potenial vs. results... |
| 6 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 7 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 8 |
Florida Gators
|
Well...I probably should have taken whatever stuff Sumrall was dishing out leading up to that game...my bad... |
| 9 |
BYU Cougars
|
BYU doesn't really do much this week - and benefits from the surrounding chaos as a result... |
| 10 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 11 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 12 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
|
| 13 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
|
| 14 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 15 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
|
| 16 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Ok, ok...I'll give some respect to the Ducks again. Thankfully, I do not have to extend this to the Wolverines! |
| 17 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 18 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - they could very well be a Top 10-15 team had they not lost to Tulsa (then again...who knows if they would beat Oregon without that extra motivation)! |
| 19 |
Boise State Broncos
|
Smurf Turf Warriors are for real (again)! |
| 20 |
UCLA Bruins
|
Woof...who would've thought we would see the Bruins back so soon!? |
| 21 |
Houston Cougars
|
|
| 22 |
SMU Mustangs
|
Like BYU and Utah...they benefit from the chaos surrounding others... |
| 23 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Did...did Fickell just save his job? Maybe not entirely...but it's a start! |
| 24 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
|
| 25 |
USC Trojans
|
...I'd likely have another team here if I weren't such a dedicated follower to the concept of poll inertia...whew! |
