It looks like one of the ballots double voted Notre Dame (9 & 10), Kansas State (19 & 21), and SMU (18 & 24), giving them an extra 16, 5, and 2 points respectively (if you remove the lower ranked).
Oof, that’s not one we’ve had to account for (that I know of anyway). We’ve had people double up on joke ballots before but I’ve never even checked for this beyond some sum checks before (how we found the ulm “bug”). I think simply removing the bottom votes is indeed the right call, unless anyone has a better idea.
I once tried a plugin that would’ve prevented this, but it was a pain and it fucked with the spreadsheet or something and I didn’t have time for it. Maybe I’ll take another look…
