Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 4, 2026, 1:36 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Mostly care about wins. How you win, who you beat, and number of wins. Head to heads matter most for me.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
kings till they fall |
| 2 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Best overall win so far |
| 3 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
starting to look good - but again, i think clemson is just bad lol. can't wait for ND game |
| 4 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
everything is starting to click |
| 5 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Can't wait for miami game. Tommy carr looking good |
| 6 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Looking really solid - I just haven't seen them match up to 'like talent' yet. Oklahoma doesn't count. Vandy is mid and it took a bit to build a lead. |
| 7 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
hope the QB will be okay. loved their game this week.all heart. Honestly would have va tech here if the ball was a few inches to the right. |
| 8 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
keep on keeping on |
| 9 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
beautiful Iowa dismantling. the game was not as close as the score. Just a bit one dimensional. if jeremiah smith gets hurt then it completely destroys the team. The only reason the run game is working is because of the smith threat, and the defense is completely healthy. I have a feeling any 'like team' in the b1g will beat them (Oregon, Indiana). |
| 10 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Bye week. Hope to see dante feeling good. |
| 11 |
Northwestern Wildcats
|
big purple in the house. I think indiana is really really good, and Northwestern is just that good too. |
| 12 |
Nebraska Cornhuskers
|
please play someone... |
| 13 |
UCLA Bruins
|
same as nebraska. offense is looking like old school pac though. |
| 14 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
can't wait to see them against west virginia. I personally don't think they're this good, but the record is impeccable so far |
| 15 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
that oregon win looking better and better. They might win out until Ttech. |
| 16 |
James Madison Dukes
|
playoff bound again? |
| 17 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
I'm not surre how good penn st is anymore. I just need to see wisconsin play a good team again |
| 18 |
USC Trojans
|
almost lost to washington. can't wait for them to lose again tbh. |
| 19 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
i don't think this team is that good. michigan win was lucky, and they got dismantled by OSU. |
| 20 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Keeping them ranked for their heart on the LSU game and their QB. |
