Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 1, 2021, 6:51 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Easily the hardest one of the year. Very clear tier drop after Baylor at 15, then everyone 16-35 has almost the same resume to me.  I tried to rank more G5s, considering they're not going to stay if they lose (a la Penn State this week).Dropped out: Pitt (16), Kentucky (18), Iowa State (20), San Diego State (22), Virginia (24)New: Houston (16), BYU (18), Louisiana (19), App State (22), Mississippi State (24)Next few out, IN ORDER: Arkansas, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Fresno State, NC State, San Diego State, Pitt, Utah
