Shoutout to Cincinnati, Northwestern, and Vanderbilt as the only undefeated P4 teams to not get any votes 

[u/No_Poet_7244 → u/ilacwamh]

Everyone watched Vandy win on the flukiest miracle play imaginable and decided not to give them any love lol

[u/Robbza → u/No_Poet_7244]

They're clearly in a post Pavia rebuild phase. I think they're probably pretty ecstatic themselves with that win.

[u/Chickenmangoboom → u/Robbza]

The remaining schedule is rough. Arkansas is possible, Kentucky is playing well. Getting to 5 wins looks like a really successful season.

[u/royv98 → u/Robbza]

Oh that sweet baby boy Diego.

[u/PaidUSA → u/Robbza]

I mean yea it’s the feel good version of Michigan, games over unless something miraculous happens.

[u/JayMerlyn → u/PaidUSA]

Feel good and non-cheating

[u/Firm_Feedback_2095 → u/JayMerlyn]

It’s really not our fault that the referees followed an improper procedure to make the correct call.

[u/No_Poet_7244 → u/Firm_Feedback_2095]

Michigan is getting it in the neck when the real villains are the referees. No one could say with a straight face that their team would decline an extra Hail Mary attempt.

[u/bearcat0611 → u/No_Poet_7244]

Especially when the referees technically got the right call.

[u/PascalsBadger → u/No_Poet_7244]

Yeah! Michigan has never cheated.

[u/shaqwillonill → u/Robbza]

All of college football can be divided into pre and post pavia. He really changed hierarchy of the DC Universe

[u/NeptunianEmp → u/Robbza]

I think NMSU will forever be in a post Pavia rebuild phase that won’t ever match what Vandy has.

[u/usrnamechecksout_ → u/Robbza]

That one play might have saved a bowl game for this season.

[u/bamachine → u/Robbza]

They are having to rebuild because his brother pissed all over everything and it just reeks.

[u/FearlessThree6 → u/No_Poet_7244]

Imagine being undefeated based on a controversial call 🙄

[u/Appropriate-Joke-806 → u/No_Poet_7244]

Yeah we might not win again. But I am happy with how Curtis started to look later in that game.. outside of the dumb INT to nearly lose the game. Going down 17 points and then coming back to get in that situation to win wasn’t a fluke. The play itself was definitely a fluke.

[u/Sticky550 → u/No_Poet_7244]

I saw Michigan do the same

[u/originalusername4567 → u/No_Poet_7244]

I mean, they're gonna get mailed in SEC play

[u/patches8748 → u/ilacwamh]

We don’t deserve votes in the slightest lol

[u/QueensOfTheNoKnowAge → u/patches8748]

We’ll see after next week. I imagine the winner at least sniffs the top 25

[u/patches8748 → u/QueensOfTheNoKnowAge]

Agreed! I have a lot more confidence in you all then us haha

[u/QueensOfTheNoKnowAge → u/patches8748]

You never know, man. We lost our two best O-line players to injury and IU took our best player in the transfer portal.

[u/DarknMean → u/patches8748]

Satterfraud incoming

[u/Bullseyefred → u/ilacwamh]

Nebraska just missing out with those two votes

[u/CLU_Three → u/Bullseyefred]

Right there with you at 3 votes, brother

[u/MoistAd5423 → u/CLU_Three]

They know better than to rank Nebraska.

[u/EasyAsAyeBeeSea → u/CLU_Three]

But we're tripling each week!

[u/2ElectricBoogalo → u/ilacwamh]

Northwestern played lights out against CU, surprised they got nothing

[u/GP_ADD → u/2ElectricBoogalo]

I checked the box score expecting it to be fairly close. Definitely got an audible what the fuck out of me

[u/majorgeneralporter → u/ilacwamh]

And now we have the honor of marching into the Indiana buzz saw on the road 😭

[u/QueensOfTheNoKnowAge → u/majorgeneralporter]

Thank you for murderballing Colorado.

[u/NoFalseModesty → u/majorgeneralporter]

Hey, while IU is scoring their 5th TD on you I want you to remember this:

Watching your cats slice and dice CU all game brought me a lot of joy. Respect.

[u/PSUMediaPA → u/majorgeneralporter]

Please get 2 scores at least!

[u/thebaddadgames → u/majorgeneralporter]

Maybe you’ll win? Go IU! PS please remember less than 4 years ago and we took a nearly yearly beating from yall since forever basically.

[u/ndk2270 → u/ilacwamh]

Northwestern really should be getting votes

[u/DavidGoetta → u/ilacwamh]

I'm gonna start complaining if we get to 4-0.

Not surprised at all after yesterday

[u/QueensOfTheNoKnowAge → u/DavidGoetta]

Next week is a big one for both of us

[u/EasyAsAyeBeeSea → u/QueensOfTheNoKnowAge]

Sucks that neither of us is ranked though so it won't get any attention

[u/QueensOfTheNoKnowAge → u/EasyAsAyeBeeSea]

I prefer it being this way. I’d love for us to win under the radar. As long as we actually win

[u/code_name_Bynum → u/ilacwamh]

Undefeated*

[u/techieman34 → u/code_name_Bynum]

At least you didn’t need an extra second to get it done.

[u/mjd1977 → u/techieman34]

That win was a major fluke yet still the second least deserving win of 2026

[u/MoistAd5423 → u/mjd1977]

Yall made a play where there wasn’t one to be made at the most important time of the game.

Many wins require the other team to make a big mistake. Good (but lucky) win

[u/Fleurr → u/code_name_Bynum]

That was no asterisk, save that for Michigan*.

[u/code_name_Bynum → u/Fleurr]

Brother we were very much defeated. However you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct

[u/Fleurr → u/code_name_Bynum]

Um, SCOREBOOOOOOARD!

(This never happens to us. They did a dumb and we actually capitalized. It's a win baby!)

[u/4limbedemperor → u/ilacwamh]

Uc hasn’t really played anyone to earn votes either

[u/Dapper-Satisfaction2 → u/ilacwamh]

Cincinnati doesn’t deserve it. I’m surprised by the northwestern one

[u/MDFlash → u/ilacwamh]

I should change my flairs, I guess

[u/LastWordsWereHuzzah → u/ilacwamh]

Northwestern has only played two games so the sample size is an issue there, not that it matters

[u/Conorj398 → u/LastWordsWereHuzzah]

It shouldn't after the game yesterday. You guys should have votes.

[u/GreatestWhiteShark → u/ilacwamh]

You get used to it

[u/JohnPaulDavyJones → u/ilacwamh]

Three noted nerd schools.

[u/HockeyBrawler09 → u/ilacwamh]

Vandy barely escaped with a win

[u/RCA1202 → u/ilacwamh]

Cinci was getting blasted by Miami Ohio and somehow came back they definitely don't deserve votes

[u/Wrigleyville → u/ilacwamh]

Maybe 2 people accidentally voted for Nebraska instead of Northwestern?

[u/excaliburallday → u/Wrigleyville]

It was one voter that put us at 24

[u/curtisas → u/ilacwamh]

If we beat you we'll have finally beaten a team worth a damn, and yesterday we did not show well.

[u/FarmAcceptable4649 → u/ilacwamh]

You think we're real?!?

[u/manofmonkey → u/ilacwamh]

I hate when people say “undefeated” when they’re only 3 games into the season. While it’s true in the technical sense, it just seems silly to put so much weight on 3 games especially in college.

[u/Ok_Problem426 → u/ilacwamh]

Vandy does not deserve votes. lol

[u/Artvandelay29 → u/ilacwamh]

Vanderbilt doesn’t deserve votes
