Hey_Its_Roomie Ballot for 2021 Week 5
Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Sept. 26, 2021, 10:18 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Expecting to be higher up back on the Most Unusual unfortunately. In general, a lot of weird things happening towards the bottom, and Kentucky just sort of hanging out on top. I was expecting to get some 1-loss teams in on the rankings this week, but they seem to be just missing out. Texas, RU, and UCLA outside looking in. I feel as though MoV is taking a bigger impact than it ought to be in this poll, so I may start re-working values through the season.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
An inflated RU drops off, but Michigan has actually been sitting on the top of the spreadsheet all season. The effects have just normalized now that I find putting them on top rational compared to previous weeks. |

Oregon Ducks

Georgia Bulldogs

PSU's SOS takes a hard hit this week. Adding an FCS matchup, and their previous three opponents going just 1-2 makes them tumble. |

This is just weird. I'm fine with it, but it's weird. |
