Ballot Type: Hybrid

Overall Rationale: Early season polls are optional, but I do like to use them just for visibility. Since my poll is heavily results-based, it does create differing results early on. I do have 1 hard rule for early on though: 1. Teams must have an FBS win to be ranked. Consequently, otherwise ranked teams like Notre Dame and Miami will not be present on this poll. However, due to the early season and lack of results to compare teams, some expectations do get influenced into the poll for now. A general trend of rankings go like this: 1. Opp is a generally successful P5 or very successful G5 2. Opp is a moderate P5 or successful G5 3. 2-0 against generally bad teams 4. 1-0 against generally middling teams
