SometimesY Ballot for 2020 Week V

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 6, 2020, 10:28 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Given delayed start weirdness, my polling philosophy is as follows: Start from a preseason poll (which I didn't submit thinking the season would be scrubbed), freeze the teams that haven't played yet (it doesn't seem fair to move them up or down without playing games while others have), and then adjust the rest of the top 25 around those. So far, #1 Ohio State, #6 Penn State, #7 Oregon, #11 Wisconsin, #12 Michigan, #20 Minnesota and #23 Iowa are frozen. FAU was frozen last week, and even though they won, I dropped them in favor of 3-0 Coastal. Bama and Clemson are 2a/2b for me at the moment. I'm not moving them since they're both playing well and I had Clemson ranked higher before. I dropped Auburn entirely after that shellacking from Georgia. I dropped Texas entirely after losing TCU and their near miss against Tech. Mississippi State was dropped after their offense came back down to earth against a recently very terrible Arkansas.
