AJ_CC Ballot for 2026 Week 6

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 4, 2026, 12:38 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Well my top ten is relatively unchanged from last week.

I have no idea really what to do with the SEC right now. It's hard to determine who's actually good beyond Texas, Alabama and Georgia. Ole Miss' win over Louisville less impressive each week, Missippi State gets blown out by Alabama, but beats Missouri who blows out Florida, who blows out Ole Miss who beats LSU. So I'm having a hard time evaluating whether this pack of teams is actually good or just coasting off of reputation. For the moment I'm giving them a certain benefit of the doubt, but someone there needs to separate themselves from the pack.

That Missipi State loss and the diminishing returns on that Louisville win are really having a significant trickle down effect on that whole group. None of them really have a standout non-conference win anymore, and each of them has a loss that looks less pretty than it did a week ago. At the moment h2h is what's keeping them in their current order, and they do all have a win that I think I'm impressed by which is why they're in. Though honestly wish I could've had a top 30 this week. I feel my 30th team is closer to my 15th team, then my 15th team is to my 10 in the rankings.
Next 5 in: Iowa, Tennessee, Wake Forrest, SMU, Northwestern
