Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Dec. 8, 2024, 1:24 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Same as always, my bowl seeds are in the reasoning, after last week's ranking. I've decided that I will not allow any teams that lost a conference championship to fall below any teams other than those that won their conference championship.
