Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 13, 2017, 7:02 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Dropped Out: Iowa State, Iowa, Toledo, NC State.  Some of my changes from last week might seem a bit overdone with how much some teams moved, but there were blocks of teams all near each other in my poll who lost (7-9, six teams from 15-24).
