Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 12, 2026, 4:01 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Week 7 Weights: 50% Power (FPI), 50% Resume (50% SOR, 25% GC, 25% AVGWP)
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Same |
| 2 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
+1. New FPI #1. |
| 3 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
+1. Performance metrics love Miami (#3 GC, #1 AVGWP). |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
-2. SOR at #15. Big chance to boost that this week vs. Indiana. |
| 5 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
+2. Big boost in SOR from beating Nebraska (#10 to #2), plus jumped two teams that lost. |
| 6 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
-1 after close loss the Georgia. AVGWP at #21 isn't doing them favors. |
| 7 |
Texas Longhorns
|
-1 after close loss to Oklahoma. SOR went from #1 to #7 (OSU win still doing lots of work). |
| 8 |
Utah Utes
|
Same. High metrics but SOR is #18. Will finally get a test against Houston on 10/24. |
| 9 |
BYU Cougars
|
+2. AVGWP moved from #13 to #9 after statistically dominant performance against Iowa St. |
| 10 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Same. Solid SOR (#9) but performance metrics are low (#28 GC, #24 AVGWP). |
| 11 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
+8. AVGWP was dragging them down (that's what happens when you lose big), so big win against Vandy offset that (AVGWP moved from #47 to #32). |
| 12 |
Houston Cougars
|
+10. Metrics loved the win against Kansas State. Big boost across the board. |
| 13 |
LSU Tigers
|
-4. SOR now sitting at #35. FPI at #8 is doing most of the work here. |
| 14 |
Missouri Tigers
|
+4. Decent bumps across the board after beating A&M. |
| 15 |
Nebraska Cornhuskers
|
Same. Minor dip in SOR (most teams lose to Indiana), but minor bump in FPI and GC |
| 16 |
Northwestern Wildcats
|
+1. Glad the AP Poll finally ranked them, but it's still too low. |
| 17 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
-4. Performance metrics took a hit after rough game against Arkansas. |
| 18 |
USC Trojans
|
+2. Penn State still counts as a decent win for now (#26 FPI). SOR jumped from #27 to #17. |
| 19 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
+8. Big boost across the board this week, including moving up 9 to #22 in FPI. |
| 20 |
UCLA Bruins
|
+6. Beating Oregon (FPI #9) shot UCLA's SOR way up from #20 to #3. FPI at #36 still dragging it down. |
| 21 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
Same. Bye week |
| 22 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
+6. Performance metrics were abysmal but got a big jump from beating Washington. |
| 23 |
Boise State Broncos
|
Same. Close win against Fresno St. didn't really move the metrics either way. |
| 24 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
Same. Despite beating LSU, Kentucky's FPI and SOR both dropped a point (SOR went from #4 to #5). AVGWP remains low (#56), which I guess is expected from back-to-back OT wins by going for two. |
| 25 |
Florida Gators
|
-13. Losing big to South Carolina understandably took a massive hit to the metrics. Somehow still good enough for 25th spot over Oregon, Oklahoma, Arizona, Baylor, and Pitt. |
