Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 25, 2022, 8:01 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Rocking with the exact same top 25 as last week, just in a slightly different order. The reason is that, being rather cleverer than most men, most of the teams that had “upset” wins (hi, LSU!) were already listed on my ballot. If you lost to a team that I think is better than you are (hi, Texas @ Oklahoma State!), I’m not dropping you! Funny how that works!
