The Fallout Line · 2026 week 10 poll · national · Oct 28 – Nov 3, 2026
The poll put it one way. The sport spent the same week saying “transfer portal” about them at 2.7 times their usual rate — and their own room was having its own argument. Both are below. Neither explains the other.
Three measurements of three different groups, joined by nothing but the same seven days: what the voters did, what the whole sport was calling the program, and what one of its own fans said in its own room. This page never claims any of them caused the others.
What the voters did
Entered the AP Top 25 at No. 23.
Week 9: Won 42-25 at Oklahoma
The word around them
What the whole sport said about South Carolina this week, against their own usual rate.
Way too early to be looking at it like that. We have no idea who will go pro, return, or transfer, and who we'll bring in via the portal. And it's not like we're gonna be the only team to lose talent.
What the voters did
Fell out of the AP Top 25 from No. 25.
Week 9: Lost 0-30 at Iowa
The word around them
What the whole sport said about Wisconsin this week, against their own usual rate.
I think with the weather getting cold, Fick wants to be on the hot seat again.
What the voters did
Dropped eight spots in the AP Top 25, No. 17 to No. 25.
Week 9: Lost 8-27 to Georgia at a neutral site
The word around them
What the whole sport said about Florida this week, against their own usual rate.
I’ve been hearing delusional criminole fans rave nonstop about how this is their best basketball team in years in the offseason after they picked up a couple of guys through the transfer portal and got that new talented freshman recruit at center. But I still don’t buy the hype, I’ll have to see it to believe it.…
The left panel is a poll move recorded when the rankings were released, shown beside the game the program played in the week those voters were judging. The two are printed together and nothing more is claimed: a poll is sixty-odd people’s opinion of a whole season, and one game is one input to it.
The multiple on the right is the sport’s vocabulary about a program, not its fanbase’s: it counts every mention in the site’s full football corpus — national Reddit, podcasts, newsletters, video, beat writing — over the last 7 days, against that same program’s own trailing rate over the 28 days before. It is a program compared with itself, never with other programs, and it is pulled toward flat when the sample is thin.
The quote below it is a different measurement of a different group: one real post from that program’s own subreddit, in those same 7 days, containing that word. It is chosen by how far the room itself pushed it up, and it is never edited — only trimmed at a sentence break when it runs long. Posts that name another program and never this one are dropped, because a rival passing through is not this fanbase talking.
Usernames are never shown, here or anywhere on this site.
A program can only appear if its own fan room is one this site has verified and collects — 28 programs today, not all of them. A week with no qualifying program is reported as such rather than filled.
This week the polls moved 11 programs; 4 of them have a fan room this site reads, and only those can appear here.
