      "overall_rationale": "Returning to a fully computer poll for the first time in many years as I finally found a way to improve on my old Most Likely ELO model in a way I liked and gave reasonable preseason polls.  No home field advantages or conference preweighting.\r\n\r\nThe new model starts by computing MLE (most likely elo) for 2025.  Most Likely Elo now use the new replacement for my old normalized margin of victory with a skewed Bradley-Terry clipping margin of victory/loss at 14 and treating all wins as a minimum of a 4 point win but not extending that symmetrically to losses.  This rewards close wins a bit more without penalizing the loser as harshly and new clipping prevents consistently blowing out bad teams to dominate.   This same algorithm will be used on 2026 games as they play\r\n\r\nOnce the 2025 Elos are computed, we compute the standard deviation for elos.   Next we take the % of snaps returning and compute a z-score.  We rescale this zscore so the max retention is 0 and all others are positive numbers relative to that z-score.  We subtract the standard deviation of elos times retention z-score from the 2025 elos to represent uncertainty from lost players.\r\n\r\nFinally, we use on3 recruiting rankings and compute z-scores there as well.  This time using the lowest score as the 0.  We add 30% the std of elos times this z-score to reward strong recruiting classes.  This gives what appears to be a reasonable top 25. \r\n\r\nOver the next 5 weeks we will take weighted averages of this frozen score and the 2026 elos weight of preseason dropping 20% each week and current season growing 20%.\r\n\r\nIt is worth noting this makes retention incredibly important as the last few years have shown retention can lead to outsized performance.\r\n\r\nHere is the top 30 breakdown:\r\n\r\nRank_V3\tTeam_NCAA\tTeam_CBS\tTeam_Recruit\toriginal_elo\tCBS_pct_return\tCBS_z_retained\tCBS_delta\tCBS_preseason\tRecruit_score\tRecruit_z\tRecruit_delta_30pct\tPreseason_V3_CBS_plus_Recruit\r\n1\tNotre Dame\tNotre Dame\tNotre Dame\t1886.33\t66\t2.1155\t0\t1886.33\t92.791\t1.3746\t163.33\t2049.66\r\n2\tOhio St.\tOhio State\tOhio State\t1943.72\t56\t1.3287\t130.03\t1813.69\t92.556\t1.3494\t162.08\t1975.77\r\n3\tGeorgia\tGeorgia\tGeorgia\t1855.48\t61\t1.7221\t65.01\t1790.47\t92.561\t1.35\t162.11\t1952.58\r\n4\tBYU\tBYU\tBYU\t1801.96\t63\t1.8795\t39\t1762.95\t88.233\t0.8865\t139.13\t1902.08\r\n5\tOregon\tOregon\tOregon\t1893.79\t54\t1.1714\t156.02\t1737.76\t92.434\t1.3364\t161.43\t1899.19\r\n6\tTexas Tech\tTexas Tech\tTexas Tech\t1919.3\t52\t1.014\t182.04\t1737.26\t88.853\t0.9529\t142.42\t1879.68\r\n7\tSouthern California\tUSC\tUSC\t1777.57\t56\t1.3287\t130.03\t1647.54\t93.656\t1.4672\t167.92\t1815.46\r\n8\tTexas\tTexas\tTexas\t1746.19\t54\t1.1714\t156.02\t1590.16\t91.921\t1.2814\t158.71\t1748.87\r\n9\tIndiana\tIndiana\tIndiana\t1934.82\t41\t0.1485\t325.07\t1609.76\t87.95\t0.8562\t137.63\t1747.39\r\n10\tOklahoma\tOklahoma\tOklahoma\t1742.63\t55\t1.25\t143.03\t1599.6\t89.591\t1.0319\t146.34\t1745.94\r\n11\tMiami (FL)\tMiami\tMiami\t1832.5\t46\t0.5419\t260.06\t1572.45\t91.837\t1.2724\t158.26\t1730.71\r\n12\tTexas A&M\tTexas A&M\tTexas A&M\t1789.99\t46\t0.5419\t260.06\t1529.94\t91.898\t1.279\t158.59\t1688.53\r\n13\tWashington\tWashington\tWashington\t1713.99\t52\t1.014\t182.04\t1531.95\t89.887\t1.0636\t147.91\t1679.86\r\n14\tMichigan\tMichigan\tMichigan\t1709.22\t51\t0.9353\t195.04\t1514.18\t90.675\t1.148\t152.1\t1666.28\r\n15\tTennessee\tTennessee\tTennessee\t1674.27\t53\t1.0927\t169.03\t1505.24\t91.756\t1.2638\t157.83\t1663.07\r\n16\tOle Miss\tOle Miss\tOle Miss\t1810.23\t44\t0.3846\t286.05\t1524.17\t88.168\t0.8796\t138.79\t1662.96\r\n17\tVanderbilt\tVanderbilt\tVanderbilt\t1774.23\t46\t0.5419\t260.06\t1514.18\t87.83\t0.8434\t136.99\t1651.17\r\n18\tAlabama\tAlabama\tAlabama\t1776.1\t41\t0.1485\t325.07\t1451.04\t92.382\t1.3308\t161.16\t1612.2\r\n19\tMaryland\tMaryland\tMaryland\t1492.2\t65\t2.0368\t13.01\t1479.2\t87.026\t0.7573\t132.73\t1611.93\r\n20\tPittsburgh\tPittsburgh\tPittsburgh\t1658.05\t51\t0.9353\t195.04\t1463.01\t87.053\t0.7602\t132.87\t1595.88\r\n21\tUtah\tUtah\tUtah\t1797.52\t39\t-0.0088\t351.07\t1446.45\t87.448\t0.8025\t134.97\t1581.42\r\n22\tSMU\tSMU\tSMU\t1695.02\t46\t0.5419\t260.06\t1434.97\t88.332\t0.8971\t139.66\t1574.63\r\n23\tNebraska\tNebraska\tNebraska\t1586.59\t56\t1.3287\t130.03\t1456.56\t83.813\t0.4133\t115.67\t1572.23\r\n24\tNew Mexico\tNew Mexico\tNew Mexico\t1555.35\t58\t1.4861\t104.02\t1451.33\t84.409\t0.4771\t118.83\t1570.16\r\n25\tMinnesota\tMinnesota\tMinnesota\t1586.34\t54\t1.1714\t156.02\t1430.31\t87.908\t0.8517\t137.41\t1567.72\r\n26\tHouston\tHouston\tHouston\t1641.16\t50\t0.8567\t208.03\t1433.12\t87.356\t0.7926\t134.48\t1567.6\r\n27\tNavy\tNavy\tNavy\t1627.33\t53\t1.0927\t169.03\t1458.3\t80.576\t0.0667\t98.48\t1556.78\r\n28\tArizona\tArizona\tArizona\t1704.91\t44\t0.3846\t286.05\t1418.85\t86.934\t0.7474\t132.24\t1551.09\r\n29\tBoise St.\tBoise State\tBoise State\t1600.31\t52\t1.014\t182.04\t1418.27\t86.475\t0.6983\t129.8\t1548.07\r\n30\tIowa\tIowa\tIowa\t1750.01\t39\t-0.0088\t351.07\t1398.94\t88.367\t0.9009\t139.84\t1538.78",

Although this algorithm only uses wins and losses, and this is not a predictive metric, values given are converted to a projected point spread vs. an average FBS team. First 5 out are SMU, South Florida, Arizona, Navy, and Iowa State. Bottom 10 (best to worst) are Eastern Michigan, UL Monroe, Ball State, Georgia State, Northern Illinois, Middle Tennessee, UTEP, Sam Houston, Charlotte, and UMass. Best bowl-ineligible team is #54 Auburn. Worst bowl-eligible team is #103 Central Michigan, although #106 Rice and #111 Appalachian State got into bowls via opt-outs and APR. Obviously, because I'm basing a preseason poll on last year's results, that may distort the ratings compared to this year's team strengths; Indiana is unlikely to repeat.",

Will Bryce Underwood be worth the money Michigan paid him? Will USC trip over themselves again? Will Lane Kiffin lead a dumpster fire at LSU?

My computer considers only data from the current season, in order to make the fairest judgment of all teams as they are this season. No lingering expectations based on missing QB thumbs keeping Oklahoma down, no lingering expectations of Fernando Mendoza discovering football nirvana floating Indiana *up*. As the computer model gathers data, I will start replacing my input with its input gradually, transitioning through \"cyborg\" mode for a few more weeks until the Singularity occurs and the computer is completely in charge. This year I'm hoping to have enough time to upgrade my automated data ingestion. I've been using CFBD for CSVs, but I've been experimenting for a while with the API and have built half a workflow on CFBD's in-season endpoints. Shoutout to u/BlueSCar for running the best-in-class CFB API. Lastly, as usual my preseason ballot is aimed at predicting the *end* of the season. It will include some takes that look silly in retrospect, and some takes that look silly contemporaneously. Hopefully it also includes some takes that look prescient. You just never know!",

In other words, I want to end up with a master number that is easily grokkable (#1ndiana avg ranking 19.47, #68 Baylor avg ranking 75.55, & #138 Sacramento St avg ranking 132.53) that will tell you what the average ranking of a team is across a large spectrum of criteria that hopefully encapsulates what makes a football team \"good\".",

I then sort the teams by conference, then rank each team from best to worst within their own conference. The best of the G6 are all grouped into the same set for determining who the best among them are. The independents are also sorted into their own group as well. Use the six groups made (4 P4 conference top 8's, 1 group of 4 for the best of the G6, 1 group for the independents) to create the top 25. Since no games have been played yet and no resume's have been made by any team, this poll instead aims to gauge the teams that have the best shot at either making the playoffs (mid to early 20's and late 10's), making or winning one of the NY6 bowls (mid to early tens and late single digits), or winning the CFP (with #1 being my preseason pick to win the national title).

Sure, the ducks went 13-0 in the regular season in 2024 and shut out Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl last season. They are certainly a clear threat to win the whole thing, but the 2024 Ohio State rematch and 2025 Indiana beatdowns both are sharp reminders for me that the ducks haven't yet shown me that they can beat a team in the postseason whose talent profile is equal to them (besides, that Tech shut out to me was more due to the Red Raiders forgetting to field a quarterback than it was Oregon having a really good day). The Ducks will be stellar this year, but I can't pick them to win a trophy they haven't yet won, especially if they hadn't made the title game since 2015."

Additionally, Louisville was one of three teams that beat the national title runner up Miami, and they did so at their house (however half-empty it was not-withstanding). Their QB is coming back for a second year and I expect all facets of their play to either match or exceed the 2025 team.

After the whole mess of an offseason that saw the Red Raiders go from the underdog Cinderella to the villain of the Big XII, the offense looks to have improved in all positions except QB on paper, and the defense seems to have reloaded on paper. I have Tech as my #2 Big XII team for two reasons: Will Hammond flips a coin before every game he plays in to determine if he is either going to win or lose Tech the game. Against Utah, he subbed in for an injured Morton and turned a neck and neck game in the fourth quarter into a runaway multi-score road win for the Red Raiders. Against Arizona State, he couldn't do much against one of the statistically worst secondaries in the entire Big XII. Aside from QB, I just find it hard to believe that Tech will be able field a comparable defense this year to last after having to send off as much of the defense as they had."

Remember, only one coach has led a G6 team to a NY6 bowl win in the 2020's and that was Fritz."

Add that to his injury trouble and I think that this team falls apart at about the time that Leavitt does. That being said, this is still a very talented team spearheaded by one of the better offensive minds in the country, so any ranking lower than this solely based on the QB being B-tier would just be disingenuous.

I think I'm high on USC? (both of them really) but  I really want to see that defense before I commit. Similarly, I think the Louisville defense could be phenomenal but I need to see the offense which is odd for a Brohm team (though Keyjuan Brown looks to be an NFL talent and Isaac Brown could be fighting for All-ACC, 2 good RBs. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIndiana is a guess, I could see BYU and Utah falling off and Michigan gaining from that, preseason polls are kinda dumb - but they are fun to think about. Either way - want my predictions on record. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOne of VT or Pitt will surprise in the ACC. California has the best QB in the ACC. Arch Manning wins the Heisman. Louisville rushes for 400 yards in a game. Georgia and Oklahoma underperform. Alabama looks good again.  Big 10 still the strongest at the top. ",

LSU has major question marks on offense, with the nations top portal class coming in and nearly every offensive skill position player likely being a transfer, but Kiffin has a talent for getting a lot out players early with an offensive scheme that is easy to transition into. For me, its much easier to buy into the on-paper talent translating onto the field, and if it does in conjunction with what is already known to be an elite defense LSU will likely be competing for an SEC and potentially national title.

While Cantwell is a generational talent, who may very well just run roughshot over the ACC, potentially having two underclassmen starting on the offensive line feels like a large gamble to me. I find it hard to believe Miami's defense won't take a step back next year(you don't just replace two first round DE's that easily) so the offense will need to step up and score more to make up for it. I have faith that Mensah will be a high production QB who will be able to be what Miami needs him to be to win the ACC with their schedule, but I have questions about his ability to step up and win big games if it comes down to it.

On offense I find it hard to believe that the next QB to step up in place of Aguilar won't be a massive upgrade. While I normally hold reservations for young QB's, Huepel runs a system that makes it easy to integrate underclassmen. With one of the best offensive lines in CFB, along with a very good WR corps, I think Tennessee will largely be improved on both sides of the ball in 2026 and rather clearly in the playoff hunt if not for a difficult schedule.

The loss of Kilian O'Connor is massive, but outside of him USC returns 4 other starters on what was already an elite unit in 2025. With the WR losses in the draft, USC will need some of their younger skill position talent to show up. I have some confidence that the defense will be better next year, while the loss of Devan Thompkins does hurt he is likely replaceable with some of the younger talent. Jahkeem Stewart should fill Thompkins role nicely, and Jamaal Jarrett could be a quality depth piece/potential starter depending on health. They will be relying on a lot of young guys on defense such as Luke Wafle and Elbert Hill however. If USC's #1 2026 class can pay early dividends, along with a potential Heisman candidate at QB, it gives USC a punching chance to compete for a title in 2026. "

Washington's defense is built middle-out, there is good reason to be confident in their interior defensive line, safeties and linebackers, however their DE's and CB's are massive areas of concern that limit what this team could potentially be even if the offensive reaches its potential."

Arizona was able to retain some key pieces on the offensive line outside of Ka'ena Decambra who left for the NFL. With guys like Tristian Bounds who projects to be one of the better OT in Big 12 play, as long as Arizona can adequately replace Decambra they should have one of the better units in conference. Despite my faith in the offense, in my opinion the defense has too many question marks (with four DB's alone being drafted) to put this team in the Texas Tech/BYU tier of the Big 12. However Arizona should have enough talent to have an outside shot of claiming a conference title."

Rocco Becht is a known solid commodity at QB at this point, he is who he is which should be good enough to keep this team competitive. Penn State lost a ton of talent to the draft/portal, especially on the d-line, but they likely have enough talent stocked up to still be a decent unit. Yvan Kemajou went under the radar with Chaz Coleman breaking out in 2026, but there were games where it was Kemajou being relied on more. If he takes a step next to the veteran pieces Penn State has, it could potentially be a strong point of the team.

Obviously there aren't any games being played so these rankings are a combo of last year's results with an emphasis on transfer-adjusted returning production. Of course, there's also a component of just my general thoughts about certain teams. Two teams were originally in my top 25 but were removed due to forgetting to add 2 teams initially. Boise State was removed to make room for Alabama, and my current #26 team, New Mexico, was removed after I added Virginia.  With games vs Central Michigan and then Mercyhurst, I'm sure teams above them will fall and allow for a rare ranked Lobos team!",

There will be a lot of movement throughout the season, but for now on-field results from the previous season still matter a great deal. Perhaps more so than other submissions, I see all the conferences as being important and make room at the lower end of the ballot for strong performances or expectations from non-Autonomy conferences, so I include some expected conference champions or those with high expectations for the season. Obviously in the preseason we don't know much about what is likely to happen, so this submission is something of a hybrid of last-year results and predictions for 2026. Again, this will change wildly throughout the season in response to what happens on the field of play. ",
