Submitted: Jan. 8, 2019, 12:38 a.m.

Overall Rationale: For the first and only time this year, I deviated from my computer's ranking by putting bowl winners Kentucky and Northwestern in the last two spots rather than 4-8 Nebraska and 5-7 Kansas State. Top 40 and more data here: https://i.redd.it/s0w0ldyi75921.png
