Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 25, 2026, 9:20 a.m.
Overall Rationale: see descriptions
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
+1 - Given the chaos I've decided to rank all undefeated teams remaining regardless of record as top 3. You have the strongest win of the undefeated teams in Wake Forest, thus #1 |
| 2 |
Utah Utes
|
+4 - Houston is finally a quality win here |
| 3 |
UCLA Bruins
|
+2 - Undefeated yet no ranked wins, but in fairness, you are undefeated |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
E - on bye and still the best 1 loss team |
| 5 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
+2 - I mean they won? Given the last two weeks I'd call that a good thing |
| 6 |
BYU Cougars
|
-5 - UCF loss was OT and drop is limited due to Arizona + Notre Dame wins |
| 7 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
+1 - on bye |
| 8 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
-5 - similar loss quality to BYU |
| 9 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
+5 - even at 7-1 idk if this team is actually good |
| 10 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
+1 - on bye |
| 11 |
Texas Longhorns
|
+7 - you have FOUR ranked wins and TWO unranked losses. I give up with ranking this team, they can be top 5 or unranked or anywhere |
| 12 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
E - on bye |
| 13 |
Arizona Wildcats
|
+4 - Blew out Iowa State and benefits from this list being chaos as usual |
| 14 |
Northwestern Wildcats
|
+1 - Rutgers |
| 15 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
-6 - Beat LSU which fixes their placement |
| 16 |
LSU Tigers
|
+4 - Auburn might've been good |
| 17 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
-7 - Beat bama which fixes their placement |
| 18 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
+1 - Felt they had to go up at least one spot |
| 19 |
SMU Mustangs
|
+4 - Still does not have a quality win |
| 20 |
Houston Cougars
|
+7 - Losses are close and OK State is a ranked win |
| 21 |
Boise State Broncos
|
+1 - Ran over Washington State |
| 22 |
UTSA Roadrunners
|
+2 - Ran over Tulane |
| 23 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
(+12) - Won against Texas Tech by more than 1 score, very high quality win |
| 24 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
-8 - Stays ranked because Minnesota is actually good and the game was close |
| 25 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
+2 - ran over Colorado and felt no one else could really take this spot Next 10: Wisconsin (vs Iowa may as well be a ranked vs ranked matchup) New Mexico Minnesota Mizzou (on bye) Florida (on bye) Nebraska (on bye) Virginia Tech UNC Duke USC (only here because there are no other P4 2 loss teams) |
