Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Dec. 4, 2021, 10:59 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I rank teams based on games they won. Teams with three losses at most at this point of the season. There is a slight bias for power conference teams as they're typically the better teams, but I give G5 teams their due if they win games over time. This poll works itself out by season's end and in the mass amount of polls, it's a small but necessary counterbalance IMO.
