Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 29, 2018, 2:21 p.m.

Overall Rationale: HOW THE BALLOT WORKS: I pick teams I think deserve to be ranked and then pull MoV, Yds/game for and against, turnover margin, and ranked wins to give each team a score from a formula. I don't adjust teams after scores are given.
