Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 15, 2019, 5:08 p.m.
Overall Rationale: It was an uneventful week at the top, and most of my ballot looks very similar to last week, so I didn't feel a need to write much in the way of explanations. Big movers were Maryland (drops out of ballot), UCF (+6), Michigan State (drops out of ballot from 21), and K State (enters ballot at 21).
