Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 4, 2019, 7:54 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Before you get on me, this is after 1 week of games! We still don't know anything. My poll a week ago I was bullish on teams like Iowa State, Nebraska, and Army, and they all had less than impressive performances. Also I doubt any of us would have picked Georgia State to beat Tenn. Remember last season how App State almost beat a pretty good Penn State. Maybe Georgia State will be pretty good this season and this isn't just a meme. Who knows. Also if you are angry right now, then I'll go ahead and say that next week probably won't be much better because I'm still feeling things out and most likely won't rank any non-undefeated teams. Even teams like my own Aggies if they lose to Clemson. It takes 3-4 weeks until my poll starts to look somewhat normal. Good job on week one performances Maryland, Baylor, Boston College, Wyoming, Illinois, Rutgers, and Georgia State (teams I have never ranked or rarely ranked)!
