ehoefler Ballot for 2026 Week 8

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 18, 2026, 10:10 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Score is on a scale from 100 to 0 where team 1 always gets 100 and team 138 always gets 0. This computer poll is calculated based on what each team has accomplished so far this season. Losses are not heavily punished besides the missed opportunity of adding a win. Teams that have played more games than others will be inflated because they've had more chances to win and build their resume.

Dropped Off: Arizona, Boise State

Next 10: SMU, Arizona, North Dakota State, Boise State, Auburn, Pittsburgh, North Carolina, Louisville, UTSA, Mississippi State
