MyAngelMiraidon Ballot for 2026 Week 7

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 11, 2026, 3:11 p.m.

Overall Rationale: read list reasoning

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs +6 - #3 to #7 were all extremely close last week and now they actually have a quality win over Bama.
2 Miami Hurricanes E - on bye, best win is Wake Forest
3 Indiana Hoosiers E - Very close Nebraska win. Having 2 ranked wins keeps them above BYU
4 BYU Cougars +2 - Record is pretty similar to Miami (best win is Arizona)
5 Alabama Crimson Tide -2 - Practically tied with Ohio State in the sense of having strong record with a quality ranked win and one very close loss to someone near the top. Having Kentucky blowout and Miss State and the fact that Texas lost should keep them barely in front
6 Ohio State Buckeyes -1 - Placement drop is literally only because their quality loss Texas went kaboom
7 Utah Utes +1 - 5 clear wins/blowouts over non-ranked teams, might be a bit stuck here until they get a quality ranked win
8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish +1 - Similar record to Utah
9 Texas Longhorns -8 - lmao you actually let Oklahoma have offence

in seriousness they stay over Texas tech due to Ohio state and Tennessee wins
10 Texas Tech Red Raiders E - On bye
11 UCLA Bruins +4 - Undefeated and adding Oregon as a win
12 Ole Miss Rebels -1 - Blame LSU and Florida for screwing the strength of record; also UCLA felt strong enough to jump here
13 Wake Forest Demon Deacons E - Blowout over NC State; currently has the best argument for being the 2nd best ACC team right now
14 Missouri Tigers +3 - tbh idk if they should be higher or lower. Thankfully next week should sort this out
15 Tennessee Volunteers +1 - Somehow won against Arkansas
16 Northwestern Wildcats +3 - 3 teams closely in front of them lost, thus they go up 3
17 Iowa Hawkeyes +3 - See Northwestern. Was considering placing them in front but their quality loss is better
18 Arizona Wildcats +4 - Win over West Virginia, and see Northwestern
19 Oklahoma State Cowboys +4 - Win over UCF, and see Northwestern
20 Kentucky Wildcats (+16) - They were basically one off the next 10 in my list last week. At this point being 5-1 and beating LSU, it's seems like enough to convince me that their struggle over South Carolina was the fluke and not beating Texas A&M earlier
21 Houston Cougars (+5) - Only got removed off the list last week because Nebraska being undefeated absolutely had to be ranked. Win oven K-State should solidify them on this list
22 LSU Tigers -10 - If you remember how Notre Dame was ranked last year even at 0-2 around this position this is roughly the same logic here
23 Nebraska Cornhuskers +2 - Actual quality loss against Indiana
24 Duke Blue Devils -10 - Georgia Tech. Not much else needs to be said
25 Boise State Broncos (+4) - Seems legit at 5-1 to me

Next 10:
USC
Wisconsin
Miss State
SMU
JMU
Cinci
Baylor
Pittsburgh
Memphis
Oregon
