Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 3, 2022, 9:48 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Resume ranking, seeded by the AP poll (and so will inherit some of its bias). Wins against FCS teams are ignored. This ranking got *a lot* more reasonable this week, fewer outliers. Utah and Kentucky both barely missed out, James Madison is pretty high.
