ManiacalBlazer Ballot for 2026 Week 11

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Nov. 8, 2026, 1:51 a.m.

Overall Rationale: See Week 7 for a rundown on this poll.

The only two teams left undefeated are former members of the Pac-12, UCLA and Utah, just like we all predicted. The SEC completed their first Circle of Suck in twenty years with three weeks left in the regular season, and might have the fewest members featured in my ballot since who knows when. And there is still no clear leading contender, let alone a clear top tier of teams.

Dropped: #14 Ole Miss, #17 Kentucky, #24 Missouri
First ten out: Ole Miss, SMU, North Dakota State, South Carolina, Kentucky, Baylor, Louisville, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Pittsburgh
