douchebagjack Ballot for 2026 Week 6

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 5, 2026, 4:37 p.m.

Overall Rationale: i wish they’d throw my poll out until like week 6 tbh. i try to only use this years results. using general conference strength as to which wins are good vs bad. P4 win >> PAC, American > Sun Belt, MWC > MAC, CUSA. FCS wins are worthless to me. i restart each week so this will change 100% next week.

Why should they be ranked? Have they beat a P4 team? Have they lost one game or less?

This poll feels factious because it’s 100% results driven. Not a predictor or a talent indicator, purely the most deserving teams.

HM (no order): Tulsa > Oklahoma State > Oregon > USC
Kentucky, Tennessee, Wake Forest, Arizona, Houston also in here
