Submitted: Oct. 25, 2026, 12:45 p.m.

Overall Rationale: A combination of Sagarin and personal rankings. Any one-loss G6 team outside of the top 40 of Sagarin rankings are excluded. In the personal and weighted rankings, undefeated P4 teams are ranked before one-loss teams, then one-loss teams are ranked, then two-loss teams, and so on. Western Michigan vs. Michigan is considered a win for Western Michigan. The highest rated G6 team will receive #12.
