Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 7, 2018, 8:28 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Starting this week, top four is my expected playoff.Big shakeups elsewhere in the ballot. I'm rewarding some teams that remain undefeated (Cincy, USF for instance) this far into the season. So I won't be surprised to find my name on the "most unusual" list this week.Homerism - I had Florida in the 35-45 range for most of the season. I just didn't believe. Last week I had them at 29. I also had LSU at 4 last week. Something had to change. I was fighting homerism, I think, by keeping Florida low. But now... I kind of have to give them some credit. Possibly an over-correction on my part to place them at 16. But the consensus was that LSU was a top-5 team, so beating them has to count for something. Next week, we're at Vandy. Barring some chaos, I doubt I'll elevate Florida if they win.
