Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 3, 2019, 4:56 p.m.

Overall Rationale: My rankings are very fluid in the early weeks because I base most of my decisions upon games played. Using a hypothetical example: Week 1 - Utah State upsets Michigan State while Alabama beats Savannah State. I would rank Utah State ahead of Alabama because of the quality of the win. As the season goes along, especially once we hit the conference schedule, those will obviously change. Early week fluctuations can be severe.I also look at how games are played out as well as the eye test. These are not stringently weighted and are up to my discretion.
