doormatt26 Ballot for 2017 Week 3
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 10, 2017, 7:51 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Still working out how I poll, but two major criteria I'm using today. 1. Do I think you're a contender/threat to become a contender/pretty good?2. Have you proven #1 on the field this year? Two games in, I'm only keeping teams with losses in if I'm pretty convinced they're odds-on favorites to have a 10-win season. Stanford, Florida, and WVU might be better than some on this list, but gotta get some good wins first.
