2025-26 Mid-Major+ User Poll: Week 5
Rankings of teams in all conferences excluding the ACC, B10, B12, BE & SEC
The "+" in the poll name is a nod to the varied usage of the term "mid-major", as there are teams in this poll sometimes discussed as outliers, high or low majors etc. and the scope of this poll includes ALL teams outside of the 5 conferences mentioned above. Mid-Major is not an official term used by the NCAA and is not interpreted the same by all. The primary purpose of this poll is for starting conversations about the teams themselves, not the concept of a mid-major. Remember have fun and be courteous to others!

As long as we're under 30 voters a week, voter applying will be open in Nov and Dec. If you follow all conferences in D1 and would be able to commit to regular voting (basic expectations this year are that you don't miss 4 consecutive weeks), please reach out to me in chat. Also, if you voted early on in last year's season and then were dropped for inactivity, we’re all about second chances, just touch base with me.
As quoted from the User Poll the same applies here:
"Please feel free to discuss the poll results along with individual ballots, but please be respectful of others' opinions, remain civil, and remember that these are not professionals, just fans like you."
