By far the weirdest candidate website was a guy running for county office whose site had an immediate popup about a "hog lot lawyer's DARK MONEY campaign" to silence him. His website headers were the standard About/Issues/Donate and then HOG LOTS ARE GROSS (like, no shit, dude..)
Today are primary elections in Iowa, and candidates' websites appear to be a mix of "I promise to make life more affordable by passing legislation proven to increase prices!" and "I am a OUTSIDER who will do everything possible to kow tow to party leadership!"
The only good candidate website was a candidate for state recorder's, which basically just said "I am currently the Deputy Recorder, I have been doing this job for a decade, and I know how to file paperwork and organize a professional office."
Here's Flo's full Top 25.
According to On3, St. Francis PA has only lost 5 guys to the transfer portal. Massey would have them Top 10 in DIII, and SP+ would make them Top 20. My model thinks they'll probably be Top 15. I'll probably have them on my preseason ballot.

@hwalker7619121 I don't think you need a computer to know JHU is a tougher win than Gallaudet, but just in case you think there's any ambiguity in my stance...
@hwalker7619121 Teams don't generally get penalized for wins against teams like Gallaudet, but they do get penalized for losses. Replacing Gallaudet with JHU makes it more likely they have an extra loss on their resume.
My final ballot, and the various metrics I used to fill it out. I was in perfect lockstep with the overall poll through the first 8 teams, and then things went off the rails.
Eastern wouldn't be in my Top 50, for example, and I don't think there's a good argument for SUS>CNU.
@hwalker7619121 I think RMC is a good team.
I think they have a good chance of running the table in the ODAC.
I do not think 10-0 or 9-1 are their most likely records (three of their four toughest opponents are out of conference).
I do not think their 2025 performance warrants a Top 25 vote.
I have been informed by a reliable source that my assumption ("On3 is accurately tracking SFU's transfer portal losses") is wildly inaccurate, and that SFU's roster numbers are low enough that they're only scheduled to play 8 games in 2026.

@JerryO_3040 You weren't at all, but I didn't want to promote what you said without doing the bare minimum amount of due diligence (making sure you weren't a burner account that makes up rumors for fun).
I don't know Jerry, but a quick glance at his profile tells me he seems like a fairly normal guy (not overly likely to spout complete falsehoods). If this is true, that would be a shame for the PAC, SFU, & the kids who transferred out of SFU who could've kept their scholarships.
@LogHanRatings Iโve heard the exact opposite about SFU - PAC coaches and ADs concerned that theyโll all need to find a 10th game to replace the Red Flash.
