Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 11, 2026, 3:37 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. From halfway through the season wins matter more. if you can stay undefeated through the chaos of college football you deserve a higher ranking.
