Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 4, 2018, 3:42 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Still too early to realistically rank teams, but here I am. Started with my end-of-season poll from last year with a sprinkling of the AP and Coaches, and then modified based on Week 0/1 results.If you're going to complain about ranking UCF being ranked 2, I'm going to complain about rankings being pointless this early.If you're going to complain about some team with no wins not being ranked, you're wrong. No team with no wins should ever be ranked.
