Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 12, 2018, 10:12 a.m.

Overall Rationale: This season is just a convoluted process to make ranking 25 teams difficult. Am I supposed to rank 4 loss teams already? Why is Kentucky still here? Is Tennessee actually improving? So I'm ranking a ton of G5 teams with few losses until the 3 and 4 loss teams win more. This season has just been a game of rank a team, that team loses, put team that beat them in, that team loses, repeat in circle back and forth forever.
