Well, this is it, the last MP vote of the season. No doubt the suspense is killing y’all.
Turnout, not unexpectedly, dropped like a stone this week. We had 211 people cast their votes. The typical ballot had 3.1 teams on it. Only 23 teams received votes.
Here’s our final top 23.
No team appeared on every ballot. Georgia was the only Tier One (90+%) team. And only four teams appeared on more than a third — hell, more than a tenth — of the ballots. I guess we’re not feeling that 12-team CFP vibe this year.
Speaking of which, here’s what the selection committee came up with.
Pretty similar lists, other than our Michigan State jollies. And of course, our top four match exactly. Speaking of which, we once again managed to get our business done efficiently

The Big Ten finished in the lead for conference affiliation.
And participation by Georgia voters jumped to 66.4%, which probably explains some of this result:
I voted for Judkins, for what it’s worth.
Anyway, that’s it for 2022, other than thanking my Mumme Poll partner in crime, Peyton, without whom there’s no way I could have pulled the balloting off week by week. Peyton, you ‘da man!
