Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 26, 2016, 12:55 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Still relying on pre-season, however the weighting is significantly less now that all teams are at least interconnected in some way. Top 7 is unchanged, Wisconsin jumps up to 8 with a 30-6 destruction of Michigan State. Washington's shakiness against Arizona leaves me a little uncertain about them, but Arizona is a tough road game. FSU and A&M are here, and both to me are still somewhat unknown.
