StFuzzySlippers Ballot for 2026 Week 7

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 11, 2026, 1:12 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Resume/Eyes/Guts

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs
2 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
3 Miami Hurricanes
4 Indiana Hoosiers
5 Alabama Crimson Tide Loss to Georgia was about as close as it gets— and not without contraversy. Overall, I think their wins are more impressive than Ohio State's, but it's close.
6 Ohio State Buckeyes
7 Texas Tech Red Raiders Reevaluating the top B12 teams shows that Tech's resume is a little better on paper. They have the highest ranked win (Houston), and Oregon State looks pretty good too.
8 BYU Cougars The Arizona win looks more impressive each week. Their total body of work is just slightly better than Utah's.
9 Utah Utes Not the most impressive wins on paper, but they are still dominant in those wins.
10 Ole Miss Rebels Some big results in the SEC this weekend led to the collapse of the Great Transitive Chain I talked about last week. This makes Ole Miss's resume look much less impressive now than it did last week. Still, I'm not gonna drop them after such a dominant performance on the road. I'm willing to view the Florida loss as an abberation until proven otherwise.
11 UCLA Bruins
12 Mississippi State Bulldogs
13 Missouri Tigers
14 Texas Longhorns Not sure what to do with them to be honest. They still have two ranked wins, and they arguably outperformed Oklahoma on the whole, but they do seem to be trending downwards as the season goes on. Was week 1 their peak?
15 Iowa Hawkeyes
16 Houston Cougars
17 Wake Forest Demon Deacons
18 Kentucky Wildcats
19 Arizona Wildcats
20 Tennessee Volunteers It's like they are playing chicken with how bad they can look while still pulling out a win.
21 Oklahoma State Cowboys
22 Nebraska Cornhuskers Moving up after a loss? Well, there were also several teams who dropped out, besides the fact that they really looked better than IU for much of that game. Overall, I'd say the top 25 looks weaker this week than last week. It's all relative.
23 Oregon Ducks By my reckoning, they have two ranked wins and two ranked losses. That probably makes them the strongest two-loss team right now. Playing with their backup QB probably didn't help them this week either.
24 USC Trojans
25 Boise State Broncos
