As always a few notes:

  • No top TENnessee sad vol noises
  • Also it hurt to let bama have the tie breaker over the vols, and I kinda want y'all to acknowledge how brave I am for facing my fears like that
  • "State" schools seem to be having a moment, other than Michigan State, which is having it's own moment
  • Arkansas and Iowa are tied and neither were ranked last week. I put Arkansas in the 24 spot as they received 11 votes last week to Iowa's 10
  • Lastly you may have noticed a new column this week. That's because this is a real ballot somebody took the time to open 25 drop down menus and submit:
  1. Louisville
  2. Troy
  3. Baylor
  4. Cinicinnati
  5. Ohio State
  6. Kansas State
  7. UTEP
  8. Mississippi State
  9. Appalachian State
  10. Navy
  11. Liberty
  12. Miami (OH)
  13. Hawaii
  14. Fresno State
  15. Jacksonville State
  16. Georgia State
  17. FIU
  18. Ball State
  19. East Carolina
  20. Costal Carolina
  21. Central Michigan
  22. BYU
  23. Akron
  24. Arkansas State
  25. Army

I want to be as hands off this data as possible, but it just didn't sit right ranking Troy and Baylor because of the strangest ballot I've ever seen. And it just raises so many questions in my mind. Who are you? Do you actually think Troy has a good football team? Were you that drunk that you don't even know? Were you a traveler who just thought they would participate in this small community but doesn't know football? Are you a buckeye that was trying to subtly boost tOSU's points? Are you doing a bit? Were you doing this specifically to fuck with me? Because it worked. I haven't been sleeping since I saw this. But whoever you are if you have a legit system that gave you these rankings let me know and I'll rework the table. The results tab on the spreadsheet shared in the post will keep that entry but the table above was scored without that entry.

And to who it may concern:

I like how they got lazy in the second half of their ballot and just filled in teams at the beginning of the alphabet. The attention span for that troll job was really short.

I guess it could also be an early season computer poll, but I don't understand submitting one this early if it looks like that.
