Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 26, 2026, 10:55 a.m.

Overall Rationale: My Inconsistent Rationale by how I value each item:
1. Record
2. Ranked Wins (how each win has aged does matter). The SEC circle of suck makes this one especially contentious.
2. Head-to-Head
3. Common Opponent
5. Losses

The stretch from 11-19 was the hardest. There are a couple of teams in the back half that do not have much to go on in terms of points 2-5, but they are ranked based on record.
