Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 27, 2017, 9:24 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Don't have the time to explain each team (or really care anymore since who bothers to read all these polls?). This might be the hardest season I've had to rank and the most G5 teams I've ever ranked (6). Chaos out the Wazzu (they wish). Teams that just missed my ranking are Virginia Tech, San Diego State, FAU, Miss State, and Boise State. Biggest changes (min 5 spots): Notre Dame (-10), Washington State (-7), Miss State (UR), Penn State (+6), Boise State (UR), South Carolina (UR), Toledo (NEW), Fresno State (NEW), USF (NEW)
