jtchr33 Ballot for 2026 Week 6

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 5, 2026, 10:23 a.m.

Overall Rationale: What a weird fun week. Making adjustment, losses are mattering less, trying to focus more on body of work so far.

Drops
Penn State; Iowa State fans are enjoying all the hate watching so far.
Mississippi State: Not a quality loss
Louisville: and there goes all the hype
Virginia Tech: Great game, almost had it, just on the outside right now.

Next Few
Virginia Tech
Mississippi State
JMU

Rank Team Reason
1 Texas Longhorns
2 Miami Hurricanes
3 Georgia Bulldogs
4 Indiana Hoosiers
5 Ohio State Buckeyes Looking good, can start to forgive that early loss. Heisman winner at WR here that looks amazing and unstoppable. I am curious if any team tries to fully shut him down.
6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
7 BYU Cougars No impressive wins so far curious how that Iowa State game will go
8 LSU Tigers I have no idea how tier 1A of the SEC is, I think they will drop, but hard to justify them behind the others right now.
9 Alabama Crimson Tide Great win, finally looking like a good Alabama team (cue the disappointment/snap to reality next week)
10 Ole Miss Rebels
11 Texas Tech Red Raiders Don't know what to do again with them, that Colorado game was rough early on. Hard to decide if bad Colorado offense, but give credit to Tech's defense to take advantage of every opportunity/possibility given to them.
12 Utah Utes as normal the big 12 is weird, no idea where they will end up.
13 Iowa Hawkeyes Great game, kinda mentioned it before that this is a team riding a high right now. Lots of traps upcoming and I think they may fall into one or two. They seem very concerned about Washington in the short week, I think they will be fine, the other nearby schools I would be more scared of.
14 Houston Cougars Still high on them, those uniforms looked great.
15 Oregon Ducks Hate to admit it, but you are good, just took a while to figure yourselves out.
16 UCLA Bruins Didn't expect them to be undefeated at this point, but could have a fun underdog run. Could get them in the playoffs easily.
17 Missouri Tigers Hello again, thanks for that. Was very happy to see Florida get taken down a peg.
18 SMU Mustangs
19 North Dakota State Bison Lots of good games coming up. Everyone needs to watch this team.
20 Boise State Broncos G5 is very interesting again.
21 Florida Gators and just like that, reality comes in.
22 Pittsburgh Panthers Another great game and finish. Gotta give them credit for staying in and playing that well.
23 Duke Blue Devils At this point, any undefeated P5 school should be ranked at this point. We can evaluate better when the lose, but they should still be here.
24 Wisconsin Badgers
25 Nebraska Cornhuskers See Duke rational.
