Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 31, 2020, 4:53 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I put the teams that are in conferences that aren't playing towards the bottom of the top 20, regardless of where those teams actually were in the preseason AP poll, mainly because I think it's pointless to give a super high ranking to teams that most likely won't even play.
