Ballot Type: Human

Overall Rationale: Originally I had planned on reviewing teams based on the scoreboard. Win's over everything and quality of the wins can dictate location on the top 25. It has been fun ranking all teams with undefeated records and analyzing what I believe to be the best wins of the week but now I have stumbled upon a curious question, "If I rank teams based on that week's wins and the quality of those wins will I end up with a final year end poll that determines the appropriate final four?" After the preparation of these polls I will work out a way to prepare an adjusted poll which includes the average team rankings from my week to week rankings. This should be a good indicator of who I truly believe has the hardest schedule and best overall season performance.
