My ballot is based on current season accomplishments; trying to avoid poll momentum, previous seasons, or prestige, except for tie-breakers. My own proprietary “nose test”

Alabama overtakes Texas for #1 (dubs over Georgia vs dubs over Michigan, although Texas’s win was an away game, and more convincing, I think Michigan is that far behind). And Utah takes Michigan St’s place at #24. Missed last week due to work, illness, broken hvac combo.
