AoA_nB1 Ballot for 2026 Week 7
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 12, 2026, 10:56 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Baseline going forward?
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
I was very bullish on the Dawgs coming into the year, and they’re ranked accordingly |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
I really like Ohio State, (obvious comment here) the Buckeyes will go as far as their Heisman favorite WR will take them. |
| 3 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Injuries worry me, but Miami has done everything you’d want from a team with a cupcake schedule. Again, (almost) their whole season comes down to their dance with ND. |
| 4 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
The last of the tier 1 teams IMO. I think ND is legit, and it all starts with this matchup @BYU. ND should roll, but games are won on Saturday’s, not on paper. |
| 5 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Really liked what I saw from the Tide on Saturday. Some calls didn’t go their way, but DeBoer and company will live and learn from this. |
| 6 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Don’t love what i’m seeing from Indiana, but they’re undefeated and showing up in the 4th. |
| 7 |
Texas Longhorns
|
We’re one bad second half against the Buckeyes away from having difficult conversations about the Longhorns. Losing Red River isn’t ideal, but rivalry games always have a way of evening the playing field. |
| 8 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Absolute domination out of the Rebs in the first half @Vandy. I think we can see that the loss @Florida does not define this team. |
| 9 |
BYU Cougars
|
Losing LJ almost guarantees that the Fighting Irish will win this matchup, but Bear has the chance to define his Legacy this weekend. |
| 10 |
Utah Utes
|
Not sure what to think about the Utes, but they’re undefeated and winning in convincing fashion. |
| 11 |
Missouri Tigers
|
I’m starting to believe in Missouri, Miss St loss is looking like Ole Miss’ loss against Florida |
| 12 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Not sure how, but they’re undefeated |
| 13 |
UCLA Bruins
|
Hate to see Nico’s injury being season ending. Unfortunately changes expectations for the Bruins season outlook |
| 14 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
Bullish on the Cats down in Lexington |
| 15 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
I think anyone from 15 down can be rearranged in any order, i’ll start this tier with the team with the best QB |
| 16 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Keeps doing Iowa things |
| 17 |
USC Trojans
|
Gonna need a bigger win from Lincoln than a white out game to believe |
| 18 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Bearish on the Vols, the wheels will be coming off shortly |
| 19 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
I still hold stock in their Oregon win, looking forward to the Cowboys rest of season |
| 20 |
Houston Cougars
|
No real opinion |
| 21 |
Boise State Broncos
|
No real opinion |
| 22 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
I believe |
| 23 |
Northwestern Wildcats
|
Chiles is good? |
| 24 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Might be a little too bullish |
| 25 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Gonna need a second Dante loss before I write the Ducks off |
