Muffinnnnnnn Ballot for 2026 Week 8

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 20, 2026, 6:07 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Wins and losses matter most. If you have the same record as a team and beat them head-to-head, you must be ahead of that team.

Another week where I have very little time to sleep so I'll keep it brief. Super chaos weekend caused a lot of sweeping changes again. My #1 and #2 teams from last week, Georgia and Alabama, take massive tumbles due to their bad losses and lack of other supporting résumé. Miami vs Florida State is another one added to the list of refball games, like Virginia Tech vs Pitt, and worst of all, WMU vs Michigan. Therefore, like normal, I treat those games as partial losses while still respecting the winner of the game (except WMU vs Michigan, where WMU simply won the game). This is why Miami fell (although even if Miami had won by 40 I'd have BYU #1, and I can't understand why the other polls don't). I can give other further justifications but I will save those for the reddit comment.
