Following Alabama's beatdown of Notre Dame in the BCS title game Monday night, our Senior Insider has submitted his final AP Top 25 ballot. Until next season...
| 1 | ALABAMA | I believe there are no further questions this time, Your Honor. |
| 2 | OHIO STATE | A relaxing bowl season, but still no losses. |
| 3 | NOTRE DAME | Pitt, BYU and Purdue should have told us something |
| 4 | OREGON | All this, and the hiring of new coach Chip Kelly . . . does it get any better? |
| 5 | GEORGIA | I believe that's the last "Is Mark Richt in trouble?" stories we will read for awhile |
| 6 | TEXAS A&M | Johnny Football is one thing, but Kevin Sumlin quite another. |
| 7 | STANFORD | Other than Kelly staying in Eugene, this season could not have gone better |
| 8 | SOUTH CAROLINA | Sure, it was Michigan, but it was still a hell of a win for the OBC |
| 9 | KANSAS STATE | Boy, that Oregon thing couldn't have felt very good |
| 10 | FLORIDA STATE | Is this the team with No. 2 talent and No. 24 coaching, or what? |
| 11 | CLEMSON | An enormous win over LSU |
| 12 | LOUISIANA STATE | A bizarre loss to Clemson |
| 13 | LOUISVILLE | Teddy Bridgewater made some friends |
| 14 | BOISE STATE | You can't contain them, but you can hope not to play them in December |
| 15 | FLORIDA | Profoundly underimpressive |
| 16 | OKLAHOMA | Got themselves Football'd but good |
| 17 | UTAH STATE | A big year ends by standing on Toledo's chest, if that's your idea of a good time |
| 18 | SAN JOSE STATE | Two losses say they belong here, so pipe down |
| 19 | TEXAS | Oregon State couldn't last long enough |
| 20 | NORTHWESTERN | The Big Ten's crowning moment |
| 21 | OREGON STATE | At least Mike Riley said he wasn't interested in leaving, so there's that |
| 22 | NOTHERN ILLINOIS | Exposed Florida State as an underachieving yet blatantly superior team |
| 23 | CINCINNATI | Nobody would have ever have expected two Big East teams except in the Big East standings |
| 24 | ARKANSAS STATE | We started with Texas State, and we end with this. Serendipitous, don't you think? |
| 25 | NORTH DAKOTA STATE | They won the FCS championship, the rules say this is legal, and why the hell not? |
