I might just be blind but I think ULM is missing from the Others receiving votes.

Guess what - I'm back and this week I'm just going to submit my awful computer poll in its completeness because where is the fun in being rational.
I've modified the methodology slightly, but it's still incredibly rudimentary and it hates two loss teams which is good because I hate them too. It still really favors teams that haven't lost, but I've added some SOS and Conference Strength weight, so it kind of keeps teams in check but not really.

Some fun facts: -It rates the SEC highest of all conferences (I have each conference start out level and it adjusts their strength based on out-of-conference performance; I haven't actually looked at these records so I can't speak to the validity of it). Followed by: Big Ten, ACC, Big 12, Pac-12 (congrats OSU and WSU for keeping it above the Group of 5 conferences). -It thinks that Florida State has had the more difficult schedule up to this point and that Army has had the softest.
They’re the one opening the door.
Alright, you guys win, I'll take the time to actually put something together. Ended up playing it pretty safe:

I tried throwing together a computer poll, but it's pretty rudimentary and over-favors teams that have played more games (and won those extra grames):

MSU got this and you can’t convince me otherwise
I completely overlooked the ballots. That’s spicy!
Michigan State receiving votes 👀 (2, so that might mean that someone had them at 24?)
Someone better start counting to confirm that OP isn’t hiding a file from us.
Edit: Editing this 3 months later because this is my most recent comment and the typo is haunting me.
How cool! I had the manga when I was a kid and absolutely adored it. Totally forgot that it existed.
Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?
I imagine they mean M. Night’s 2010 movie, The Last Airbender. I thought this was pretty obvious, but upon Googling learned that his film was not called Avatar: The Last Airbender like the show is.
I enjoyed this one quite a bit, although as many have mentioned it gets pretty wild towards the end. I have no nostalgia for the original, but watched it a few months before this one and the two contrast really well. For one, Thom Yorke’s soundtrack is absolutely stunning and such an interesting choice considering Goblin’s music in the original.
I haven’t watched any of their games, but how in the world is FSU so bad? This must be the worst that a pre-season ranked team (at least up as high as 10(!)) has ever performed, right?
