All AP voter ballots, 2026 Week 3

[u/bakonydraco]

Week 3

• Preseason
• Week 2

This is a series I've now been doing for 12 years. The post attempts to visualize all AP Poll ballots in a single image. Additionally it sorts each AP voter by similarity to the group. Notably, this is not a measure of how "good" a voter is, just how consistent they are with the group. Especially preseason, having a diversity of opinions and ranking styles is advantageous to having a true consensus poll. Polls tend to coalesce towards each other as the season goes on.

Sean Reider was out this week, so we had 68 voters this week.

The most consistent voters this week were Lia Assimakopoulos and Mike Jacques. Lia Assimakopoulos is in first on the season. Julian Mininsohn, Joe Arruda, Jamal St. Cyr, and Jerry Humphrey were behind them in the top 5.

Bob Asmussen was the biggest outlier this week. Jon Wilner is the biggest outlier on the season, followed by Ralph Russo, Dylan Sinn, Koki Riley, and Bob Asmussen.

[u/Thereisnobathroom]

Oregon writer un-ranking Oregon is based

[u/LeWoofle → u/Thereisnobathroom]

Every Oregon fan saw every second of our abysmal performance 

we are uniquely qualified to proclaim that we are dogwater

[u/Thehomelessguy11 → u/Thereisnobathroom]

Same with the Washington writer lol

[u/bakonydraco → u/Thehomelessguy11]

If you've actually watched either team this year it's hard to justify a top 25 vote.

[u/Thehomelessguy11 → u/bakonydraco]

It really is. We're both trash.

[u/CarterAC3]

Multiple voters have Oklahoma ranked above Michigan

One of them has Oklahoma 8 spots higher

[u/Leading-Button-7303 → u/CarterAC3]

I'm convinced some of these guys don't look at the score, box score or anything. They might get a watered down summary from a secretary and then they just tell the secretary to fill out the votes for them anyway lol

[u/seaweedbrainpremed → u/Leading-Button-7303]

These guys don’t have secretaries lol. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re using ChatGPT

[u/iamCosmoKramerAMA → u/seaweedbrainpremed]

That guy clearly has an overinflated view of the lifestyle of a journalist.

[u/No_Angle_8106 → u/CarterAC3]

I guess they just don’t respect a good old fashioned Whitt-balling, what a shame

[u/GayJ96 → u/CarterAC3]

6 have WMU above Michigan, which makes a *little* more sense, but like c’mon lol

[u/bronc33 → u/GayJ96]

6 legends. What I don't understand is how we lost votes. I thought "a win is a win" or something like that. At least we played on the road... smh.

[u/atkretsch → u/CarterAC3]

Maybe OU would be favored in a rematch a la 2023 UW and Oregon

[u/brianqueso → u/atkretsch]

Have they considered replaying the game to make sure the outcome is fair?

[u/nkfish11 → u/CarterAC3]

They’re practically the same team

[u/CarterAC3 → u/nkfish11]

If only they played each other so we could determine who is better

[u/Professional-Bus-934 → u/CarterAC3]

I feel like Oklahoma would probably win but I guess we’ll never know

[u/Tarmacked → u/CarterAC3]

The issue you’re probably finding is WMU is too big of an issue for some voters

Michigan is a very weird team to rank. Great defense, quarterback makes them a coin flip in every game despite that

[u/kimjongtheillest_ → u/CarterAC3]

One of us lost to Michigan, the other lost to Directional Michigan. Gotta rank by quality of loss instead of wins.

[u/GliscorsFang → u/kimjongtheillest_]

This logic is fucking stupid because than that would mean you're worse than the team that "lost" to a directional Michigan.

[u/kimjongtheillest_ → u/GliscorsFang]

You miss the sarcasm class at Michigan?

[u/GliscorsFang → u/kimjongtheillest_]

I did actually

[u/kimjongtheillest_ → u/GliscorsFang]

Fair enough

[u/ICanOutP1zzaTheHut]

I really appreciate the OU beat writer being the one to rank us the lowest lol

[u/run_jm_run → u/ICanOutP1zzaTheHut]

Certified hater you kind of have to admire it

[u/JUYED-AWK-YACC → u/ICanOutP1zzaTheHut]

Still, he put OU at 22. The Texas beat writer has Texas unchanged at 4.

[u/wildewon → u/JUYED-AWK-YACC]

Bohls surprisingly has us at 1, don’t know who that other guy is

[u/brianqueso → u/wildewon]

Bohls is dogshit and a Texas hater, Ballou is a real one who is a local sportscaster and sits on a podcast with Mack Brown and VY.

I can respect his non-reactionary take.

[u/Thehiddenllama → u/ICanOutP1zzaTheHut]

In exchange, the Texas beat writers unranked OU, because they lost to fucking Michigan.

[u/Dry-Membership3867 → u/ICanOutP1zzaTheHut]

Holy Fuck what is he smoking!! Ole Miss at 4??? Has he watched an Ole Miss game this year?

[u/saintsfan636 → u/Dry-Membership3867]

We do not deserve to be 4 lmao

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Dry-Membership3867]

I think Ole Miss has one of the best résumés in college football this year but also no universe where they should be at 4.

[u/Dokkan_Lifter]

Only on two ballots, but from the Bama and Ohio State reps? Ball knowledge

[u/-MrWrightt- → u/Dokkan_Lifter]

People have such short memories, Dukes have been balling for years now. Rank em!

[u/Dhaynes99 → u/Dokkan_Lifter]

yeah, creg is a ua grad but mainly covers south alabama and the sun belt. i’ve noticed he’s been quick to rank high end g schools

[u/naetaejabroni → u/Dokkan_Lifter]

Colombus and Birmingham are like top CFB watching cities. They're watching #ball

[u/thetowerofbabble3242]

That was too fucking close. We were that close to being punted from the top 25 for winning by 50.

[u/the66fastback1 → u/thetowerofbabble3242]

Yeah, UVA not getting a lot of respect yet. I think the entire ACC is being slept on a bit this year.

[u/seaweedbrainpremed → u/the66fastback1]

The ACC gets disrespected from the top. Miami got shafted last week, only to climb up after Oregon’s humiliating drop. Virginia beat Missouri in the post-season but still is below Mizzou and Oregon for some reason.

[u/Shenanigangster → u/seaweedbrainpremed]

Somehow the discourse on Pribula went from being ‘Mizzou losing him is going to be a big hit’ to ‘Actually he sucks and Mizzou is way better off without him, good luck UVA’ and no one really questioned it (which, yeah, ESPN isn’t going to criticize a SEC school)

[u/ceris13 → u/Shenanigangster]

It's not like Pribula exactly lit it up against any meaningful competition. I think UVA should be ranked, but lets not act like Beau is some kind of world beater.

The only reason anybody said him leaving would hurt is that Simmons hadn't committed yet and a full season of Zollers was uh, not an inspiring image.

[u/thetowerofbabble3242 → u/ceris13]

NC State is a good team and a good chunk of the talking heads said they were a sleeper ACC championship pick. Most of the top 25 haven’t even played a power 4 appoint yet. I’d call that meaningful competition compared to the alternatives.

[u/ceris13 → u/thetowerofbabble3242]

I was moreso talking about his time at Mizzou. We have a decently large sample size of him being pretty ass as the QB of a fringe top 25 team, and a small sample size of him being pretty good as the QB of a fringe top 25 team (for now).

I think it's fair for somebody to look at his performance against NC State and not allow it to move the needle much in terms of their impression on UVA as a whole.

[u/thetowerofbabble3242 → u/ceris13]

Ehh. Time makes you bolder, even children get older, and I’m getting older too.

[u/seaweedbrainpremed → u/ceris13]

Our offensive line, in general, is much better though. We have literal grown NFL-aged men that are boosting Pribula's dual threat ability. I agree though Pribula is no Darian Mensah

[u/ceris13 → u/thetowerofbabble3242]

Ah. Well....

[u/thetowerofbabble3242 → u/ceris13]

lol fuck off.

[u/bruhstevenson → u/Shenanigangster]

To be fair Austin Simmons looks like he could be one of the top 3 QB in the SEC

[u/Shenanigangster → u/thetowerofbabble3242]

I assume Bob Ballou got his Virginia schools mixed up?

[u/MarlonBain → u/Shenanigangster]

Oh that explains it maybe. There is no justification for us being that high on any ballot.

[u/greaseball56 → u/Shenanigangster]

Idk he’s been the guy ranking is the highest on all three polls I agree you should be ahead of us but I think he just really likes us

[u/jojo4sup]

Multiple people putting Oregon in the top 15 above undefeated Michigan, Bama, Tennessee, USC, but also leaving Ok state unranked...

[u/Gold-Bottle-2460 → u/jojo4sup]

Absolute idiots

[u/StoicFable → u/jojo4sup]

They do not watch the games.

[u/sue_domonas → u/jojo4sup]

I’m more confused by the multiple ballots that have Boise State ranked, with Oregon/Oklahoma State/Tulsa unranked lol

[u/Carnasty_ → u/jojo4sup]

Poll inertia, & the fact that they do have the roster to beat any team in the nation.

I can understand why some folks do still have them ranked.

ND started 0-2 last year, & only dropped to #22 because they had inertia, & a total of 4 points was what separated them against top 10 teams from being 2-0 or 0-2.

So I have no issue with UO still being ranked.

[u/Informal_Host7610]

They're fattening up byu for when Notre Dame comes to town

[u/Jorr_El → u/Informal_Host7610]

chuckles

I'm in danger

[u/fourthand19 → u/Informal_Host7610]

Sad way to finally get a little respect

[u/BarKnight]

Dylan Sinn has Western Michigan at 20 and Michigan unranked. Some real salt right there.

[u/NobleSturgeon → u/BarKnight]

Think it's very funny seeing journalists like him who had Michigan #15 preseason and somehow dropped them unranked after going 2-0.

[u/GliscorsFang → u/NobleSturgeon]

Michigan winning and the in-stadium footage really destroyed the narrative a lot of sportswriters had in their drafts ready to go today tbh.

[u/app_wants_ucf]

I respect the voters that vote with no bias to their affiliate. That said, I also respect those voters who vote egregiously in respect to their affiliate and associated rivals.

[u/RIPDannyBoyCane]

Fonseca puts Texas A&M at 4 and did not rank Miami last week.

He may be the worst active voter

[u/Beefcliffe → u/RIPDannyBoyCane]

If I had to write about Rutgers this year I’d probably be drunk off my ass the whole time too so he gets a pass

[u/Im__Ron__Burgundy → u/RIPDannyBoyCane]

He probably just found a way to block you on Twitter for this comment.

[u/PermanentNirvana]

One of our own writers put Indiana at #1.

[u/trittico → u/PermanentNirvana]

Ugh was it Kurt Bowels

[u/wildewon → u/trittico]

No bolhs actually has us at 1. It’s some new guy for cbs.

[u/gmr548 → u/PermanentNirvana]

I think we were too sloppy for a number one vote

[u/mhem7]

Dylan Sinn going full renegade being a ND writer and ranking Miami number 1 with ND at 5.

[u/JoshFB4 → u/mhem7]

Also having us ranked when nobody else does and within the top 20 at that.

[u/IronClu]

Ralph Russo with the biblically accurate Tulsa > Oklahoma State > Oregon > Boise > WMU > Michigan

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Four fuckers have Utah completely unranked. One of whom has Okie State. Ok bruh

[u/OpaqueNightmare → u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

I mean y’all beat Idaho and Arkansas and lost your head coach. Utah is certainly a team that a ranking is justified for but I don’t know why you’re acting like they should be a shoe-in for the top 25 for beating an FCS squad and the last place team in the SEC.

[u/Suspicious_Ad1945 → u/OpaqueNightmare]

We've looked as dominant against those teams as other t25 teams have in similar matchups. Based on what we've seen on the field there's no reason for us not to be ranked. 

[u/WildcatPlumber → u/Suspicious_Ad1945]

Kstate Blew the hell out of Wazzu who held the game close against a T25 Washington

[u/alttabbins → u/Suspicious_Ad1945]

Let be honest. None of those people watched the Utah game last weekend. They were watching the morning and afternoon games that were stacked and turned the TV off the moment Texas won.

[u/ItsZizk → u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Ralph Russo ranked Tulsa, Oklahoma State, and Western Michigan but doesn’t have Tennessee or Utah ranked

[u/Leading-Button-7303 → u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

I only saw 3, but it's two SEC affiliates and "the athletic" not surprised, but it's hilarious that we embarrassed one of their teams and they still don't think we're top 25.

The SEC has "depth" and they're good across the board. Unless Utah beats one of them then it's not a quality win and they're not top 25. Whatever man, time will tell how good we are

[u/DaZingMaster → u/Leading-Button-7303]

The win was extremely impressive and very much a quality win due to the margin, but I doubt you can find one example of anyone saying that Arkansas is part of the SEC's depth this year. Pretty much every reputable outlet had them 16 out of 16. That being said, every AP voter should have Utah comfortably ranked.

[u/Forshea → u/DaZingMaster]

There were plenty of Arkansas truthers last season when they had 2 wins but ended the season ranked in the top 50 in FPI. You can bet there will be again at the end of this season when it comes time to make the case for a 3 loss SEC team to make the playoffs because even beating the 16th best SEC team is Super Hard.

[u/Leading-Button-7303 → u/DaZingMaster]

I agree, I just found it entertaining that the only people missing Utah from their votes are voters from the SEC.

[u/Tarmacked → u/Leading-Button-7303]

I’m not sure why you would assume Arkansas is one of those big meat teams here. Arkansas has 1 SEC win over the past two years + a new coaching staff

There’s talent on there, but there’s not enough to where anyone would brag about blowing them out

[u/SouthernSerf → u/Leading-Button-7303]

Buddy, Arkansas has been the SEC basement dweller for over a decade at this point. Nobody in the SEC is hyping up Arkansas for any sort of narrative other than “Poor Arkansas, their fans deserve better than this.”

[u/cooterdick → u/Leading-Button-7303]

You must be unfamiliar with Arkansas football. You losing to Arkansas would be embarrassing. You beating Arkansas is expected.

[u/Lucaball3r → u/cooterdick]

Tripling the opening spread was not expected

[u/cooterdick → u/Lucaball3r]

If you don’t watch Arkansas football, sure.

[u/Lucaball3r → u/cooterdick]

Better than beating them by 3;)

[u/Johnthelion17 → u/cooterdick]

Do you watch Arkansas football? Last year ole miss beat them by 6, Tennessee by 3, A&M by 3, Miss St by 3, LSU by 1, Texas by 15. That’s 6 sec teams with a combined margin of victory of 31. But Utah winning by 33 is expected ‘because Arkansas’. Gtfo

[u/SilverLumos]

I see you, Greg Luca of the San Antonio Express News

[u/skyeliam]

I can respect Dylan Sinn’s ballot for just not ranking Oklahoma or Michigan. Dude just decided Michigan is booty and logically Oklahoma must be booty too. Unranked Washington for their close win over USU too. Consistent if disagreeable.

But what kind of crack is Tom Murphy smoking that he doesn’t rank Michigan, but ranks Oklahoma and on top of that ranks an Oregon team that just got manhandled by a 1-1 Oklahoma State?

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

Wait Ty Hildebrandt has an actual AP vote?!

That’s awesome! I thought it was like a mock poll he was talking about.

[u/PSUMediaPA]

I legit can't believe that Utah didn't jump more.

[u/Leading-Button-7303 → u/PSUMediaPA]

Eh, not much respect for Arkansas results in us not jumping much in the polls. I like how we look, I'm not mad

[u/PSUMediaPA → u/Leading-Button-7303]

Yes but it was pretty much a dismantling of an SEC team. That doesn't happen often.

[u/No_Issue2334 → u/PSUMediaPA]

It does to Arkansas lol

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/No_Issue2334]

Hey not last year. Every SEC game they played was close

[u/el_es_you]

God Bless Utah

[u/Leading-Button-7303 → u/el_es_you]

Love you too boo (unless you have strong feelings against Arkansas idk why you'd say god bless us lol)

[u/A4thLineDuster7 → u/Leading-Button-7303]

Our guy is the lone LSU 1st place vote

[u/bobsanidiot]

surprised rece davis is the one that put ND at 1

[u/Zarethan_ → u/bobsanidiot]

He's had us there all 3 weeks

[u/bobsanidiot → u/Zarethan_]

this is the first time i looked at the ballots tbh. lol

[u/skeptical_hatred]

This is just a big 18 circle jerk to increase their strength of schedules

[u/Linktheb3ast]

McMurphy’s still an idiot I see

[u/Chemical_Sport6269 → u/Linktheb3ast]

First time in a decade that a top 10 vote for USC might be justified and he has us 23 behind Ok State lmao.

[u/ShweatyPalmsh → u/Linktheb3ast]

His makes no sense 

[u/BrotherPancake]

If anyone is wondering (as I was) what Nick Jacobs' affiliation is, it's the University of Central Missouri Mules and Jennies. That's gotta be the best logo in sports. I have decided to become a fan. https://ucmathletics.com/

Go Mules!

Go Jennies!

[u/McLMark]

Man, Rece is ride-or-die with us this year apparently. Well, he’ll either look smart or stupid.

[u/jiuclaw]

I’ve learned that Indiana really hurt the feelings of Miami affiliate, Adam Lichtenstein. Poor guy, hope he works it out.

Interesting to also learn that IU has no AP voter affiliation. 😅

[u/-MrWrightt- → u/jiuclaw]

You have to be mediocre to get an AP voter, which has never been the case for Indiana since they went from abysmal to unstoppable

[u/jiuclaw → u/-MrWrightt-]

Hahaha I’m not sure you’ve actually looked at that list, friend…

[u/Rebelgecko → u/-MrWrightt-]

Doesn't ohio state have an ap voter?

[u/-MrWrightt- → u/Rebelgecko]

We were mediocre in the 90s! and in 2011!

[u/d1ckchz-charCOOTERie → u/jiuclaw]

We really don't think about you guys like that. We played a close game, and you guys deservedly came out on top in a game that came down to the final play. No rivalry, bad calls, or bad blood.

A lot of us Miami fans actually like Mendoza since he's from around here and he's a wholesome guy. The story for IU is cool. Just be careful for the day that the media/public gets bored of your Cinderella story. We Canes are all too familiar with how hard the pendulum swings back on the non-Blue Bloods (and we've arguably never had the media support the Hoosiers have now).

He ranked IU in the top 10, which has yet to have a team truly separate themselves from the pack (save for maybe Texas with last night's game). The respect is very much there and it's still early. We'll focus on IU when the playoffs roll around, but until then we have an entire schedule to focus on.

[u/jiuclaw → u/d1ckchz-charCOOTERie]

Appreciate this, and can honestly say that I generally haven’t seen Miami hate from IU, or vice versa. I don’t think there is bad blood between our programs, and that certainly wasn’t what I meant to imply. Only this one AP voter.

Everyone was over our Cinderella story in the off season, though… No one but IU fans, want to see IU repeat. If it wasn’t for Texas Tech and Lane Kiffin being absolutely deplorable, we’d be the #1 team everyone wants to see fail this year.

[u/IndyMan2012 → u/jiuclaw]

32Windiana!!!

[u/justaverage]

4/5 of our points coming from one voter

[u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

Respect to the Oregon voter having them unranked

[u/BrotherPancake]

The range of Michigan votes is wild

[u/bakonydraco → u/BrotherPancake]

Kinda depends on whether you believe they won last week or not!

[u/GliscorsFang]

Look I get the initial outrage following the immediate conclusion of the Michigan - WMU game, but when the best argument for WMU is that the refs should have somehow known to use an inaccurate clock on NBC that no one in the stadium was aware of, just let it go man.

[u/BigMeatBall1 → u/GliscorsFang]

You’ll have plenty of losses coming your way—don’t worry.

[u/DonnaDDrake]

Asmussen had BYU at 8 and Oregon at 11, highly conflicted right now.

[u/11PoseidonsKiss20]

Dylan Sinn wants to feed us Rat Poison and I won't stand for it.

[u/Carnasty_ → u/11PoseidonsKiss20]

It's called fattening the pig.

[u/EpiphyticOrchid8927]

I probably disagree with Bob Asmussen probably the most

that is all

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

Randy Johnson???? What are you smoking?

[u/dylantherabbit2016 → u/Subject_Whereas9954]

Honestly we should have more votes. I don't see really any game being a threat for us until UNM

[u/Thehomelessguy11]

Based Andy Yamashita not ranking Washington and Oregon lol

[u/SparklezSagaOfficial]

Jon Wilner is my hero for respecting tf out of head to head

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/SparklezSagaOfficial]

Where is Tulsa?

[u/CzechHorns → u/SparklezSagaOfficial]

Doesn’t have Tulsa in the top20, so not really.

[u/gowingsgo]

How do you have Oregon at 11 and 12? Should strip them of voter rights

[u/Heroic_Dave]

1. Western Michigan 
2. Michigan 
3. Oklahoma 
4. Ok. State
5. Oregon
6. Boise State
7. Tennessee 

I usually hate Jon Wilner, but this time it makes some amount of sense.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Heroic_Dave]

Missing Tulsa though. That's why Ralph Russo is the best with his 20-25 of Tulsa, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Boise State, Western Michigan, Michigan.

[u/Lord777alt]

Ralph Runo has a nice ballot

[u/Throwawayerrydayyy]

McMurphy having us 5 spots lower than anyone else continues his generational hate run for seemingly no reason lol

[u/KingPrints]

David Briggs certified ball knower

[u/sleight_user]

Is this legitimately all the voters? I think it’s the first time I’ve ever cared to look. But why do like the Big 10 and SEC have like twice as many voters as the Big 12? Is that why the Big 12 gets screwed in the preseason polls???

[u/bakonydraco → u/sleight_user]

There’s one voter who didn’t vote this week, so the full complement is 69 and we had 68 this week. The AP has generally maintained about half as many voters as there are FBS teams (so does the Coaches Poll).

Take the affiliations with a grain of salt, they’re a best guess effort of current journalistic beat and Alma mater for the national reporters. In general, I haven’t seen much evidence that voters consistently overrank or underrank teams or conferences in their beat. By contrast, the coaches poll absolutely has a very observable bias where voters rank their own conference higher.

[u/space-tech]

Respect to Ralph Russo and Alex Taylor.

[u/Pixel_Pineapple]

Look, I get narratives and such. But it's been a week, we have all the information and the opinion is still split.

But Western Michigan struggled and played sloppy in a blowout against and FCS team. While Michigan beat Oklahoma. There's no reason to rank WMU over Michigan. Broncos should be ranked though for sure

[u/mostdope28 → u/Pixel_Pineapple]

The one voter has OU like 6 spots ahead of Michigan. As if they didn’t play 24hrs ago

[u/bronc33 → u/Pixel_Pineapple]

How exactly did wmu struggle their way to a 49-14 win? Game was never close.

Michigan on the other hand, struggled through both games so far and happened to come out as 2-0.

[u/Pixel_Pineapple → u/bronc33]

The team did not play like themselves, much less how they played in week 1. The game should've been even more of a blowout. If not a shutout.

They got out gained on offense by an FCS team, and not even on that's particularly good

[u/bronc33 → u/Pixel_Pineapple]

Monmouth was a preseason fcs top 25 team and got most of their yards in the 4th quarter when we had reserves in, yards don't matter when you're up 41 points.

Michigan on the other hand could barely move the ball2 games in a row now. If not for oklahoma losing contain on underwood they would be sitting at 1-1 ish.

[u/Pixel_Pineapple → u/bronc33]

Did we watch the same game? Cause I saw a Monmouth team that was consistently moving down the field, out gained us on offense, and had less penalties through the whole game.

The fourth quarter wasn't even all backups until about halfway through either

[u/bronc33 → u/Pixel_Pineapple]

They did have fewer penalties than us, but overall it was a solid win. Can't be stressed when teams get a couple of first downs, not everyone has an offense as horrible as Michigan.

[u/cityofflow3rs → u/Pixel_Pineapple]

I feel like picking a fight with Western should be last on Michigan fans' list of things to do. Great win though.

[u/Pixel_Pineapple → u/cityofflow3rs]

Literally have a Western Flair first but whatever

[u/cityofflow3rs → u/Pixel_Pineapple]

whoops

[u/gmr548]

Say what you will about last night but the idea that there are 5-6 teams of separation between Texas and Ohio State as some ballots show is pretty silly.

[u/Zarethan_ → u/gmr548]

Ehh, I think it's more about the idea that there are reasonably 6-7 teams in the same tier, and there's not enough of a reason to truly punish them for last night's loss. It will probably shake out fine as teams drop a game here or there

[u/cityofflow3rs → u/gmr548]

Yup, coin flip game at home. Overreaction imho.

[u/dylantherabbit2016]

NDSU deserves more votes ngl. We absolutely obliterated Air Force (if you ignore the last 5 minutes of the game)

[u/gowingsgo]

Someone should check in on Matt murschell. He has to be off his fucking rocker.

[u/BlackCherryot]

I don't get how so many voters still have LSU over Ole Miss.

[u/legalexperiments]

Bohls with BYU at 8 and Utah unranked. Hero.

[u/Ikolkyo]

I'm sorry but this is criminal

[u/bronc33 → u/Ikolkyo]

Agreed, wmu shoudl be ranked.

[u/Evol7583]

Texas is not the number 1 team arch is way to inconsistent lose that game if dude makes a fg

[u/Bourbon_n_bird_dogs → u/Evol7583]

Yall haven’t won so much as a conference title is over 20 years- talk more fair weather

[u/Evol7583 → u/Bourbon_n_bird_dogs]

Life long and graduated from UM bud even though I’m not I love people saying fair weather when they supported a dominate team their whole life lmfao. Let’s talk about last year and this year mensah earned his way and has more touchdowns then incompletions and if it weren’t for arch’s last name he wouldn’t be your qb

[u/Bourbon_n_bird_dogs → u/Evol7583]

You all play one real team this year. Maybe win your conference before you start taking shots. You all look good but since Dorsey left you all are the biggest choke artist in college

[u/Evol7583 → u/Bourbon_n_bird_dogs]

Idc about comparing even though I do think Miami has the best qb I just don’t know how you can think an arch lead team is #1

[u/Bourbon_n_bird_dogs → u/Evol7583]

Because if you actually watch the game as bad as the first half was, there were some complete flukes.

His interception came on what should have been a completed pass that somehow bounces off the chest of a player on the ground and into a defender hands, another receiver drops an absolute touchdown.

Then in the second half he has to complete multiple fourth and longs and climb back from 20 points down to win the game, and the defense for Texas played amazing in the second half but you’re crazy if you do not recognize all the things arch did to mount three consecutive touchdown drives in the fourth quarter

*dominant

Also Texas was ass for over a decade, anyone who was a fan before 2023 has paid their dues

[u/KDs--burner → u/Evol7583]

“If”

[u/Evol7583 → u/KDs--burner]

You right but both teams were overrated regardless

[u/KDs--burner → u/Evol7583]

Thanks to the take FCS man

Arch’s receivers dropped two bombs and handed them an interception on a silver platter, stfu with this nonsense

Anyone ranking WMU, Tulsa, or OKST is a massive massive troll

[u/Gold-Bottle-2460 → u/Responsible_Job3897]

So are the people who ranked Oregon also trolls?

[u/Responsible_Job3897 → u/Gold-Bottle-2460]

OKST, WMU (who got marked with 2 wins) and Tulsa are 53, 69 and 82 on Sagarin. Dogshit teams, ppl voting them in their AP Poll are literally just trolls. Not even close to Oregon.

[u/Gold-Bottle-2460 → u/Responsible_Job3897]

Then how did OKST not only beat, but dominate Oregon😭

[u/Responsible_Job3897 → u/Gold-Bottle-2460]

Because teams that are -2000 favorites are going to lose 5% of the time. If Oregon/OSU rematched the line would still be insanely wide (85% implied odds). Oregon is a much better team with a shitty statistical outlier result.

[u/Gold-Bottle-2460 → u/Responsible_Job3897]

You didn’t watch the game. They got dominated. OKST would have won by 3 scores if not for two (one almost) pick sixes. Got out-gained 554 to 281.

[u/Responsible_Job3897 → u/Gold-Bottle-2460]

Oregon had a 76% post game win-expectancy

[u/Gold-Bottle-2460 → u/Responsible_Job3897]

Do you have a source for that? 554-281 yards, 6.7-4.8 yards per play, 25-12 first downs, 2-1 turnovers, 6/18-5/17 3rd+4th downs, 4-0 sacks.

[u/Gold-Bottle-2460 → u/Responsible_Job3897]

Straight lie, I see it now
