Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 11, 2022, 9:58 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Kept internal logic consistent with my poll from last week. If a team won, they generally will not drop from where I had them last week unless they drastically underperformed expectations (Bama). Notre Dame, Texas A&M and Wisconsin drop out of my rankings. NC State, Ole Miss and Marshall enter my rankings.
