Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 27, 2026, 9:54 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Top 12 I feel confident in and would be my playoff field today, the rest is starting to gel into a warm stew of teams that can't get out of their own way, lose dumb games, or lack being special at any one thing to separate them from the others. I am very bullish on Arizona and a surging contender.
