This week's poll has already seen a lot of chaos, as the top 3 teams already have lost between when the votes were collected and when the results are being published. But given the results leading up to those games, those rankings were hardly undeserved.
We have 8 voters this week, our highest for the season. There were no crazy ties this week, so let's get on with the results.
