Expert preseason ranks from accuracy-ranked public sources (Stassen accuracy: Pick Six #1, Athlon #2, Steele #3). Our SP+ rank uses 2026 finals until 2026 projections publish. Note the divergence: experts rank Ohio State #1–2 while our results-anchored model has Indiana ahead — the human take fades Indiana's outlier 2025; the model can't.
