Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 23, 2018, 10:49 a.m.

Overall Rationale: I didn't realize last week's poll was the first that was required. I will comment on each spot with my rankings last week (this is mostly for myself, but I thought others might learn something from it). If a team kept its previous ranking, I did not add it to reasoning.
