311polo Ballot for 2020 Week (d)
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 27, 2020, 5:14 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Considering the nature of this season I made my own rules as we are just 2-3 weeks in.  First, no team with a loss is on the ballot.  Second, if you haven't played you are not getting on (no Pac-12, Big-10, etc), third, I am penalizing teams if they only played one game - but that doesn't mean they are all behind every 2+ win team.  A few 1-0 teams were left off, including aTm. Beating Vandy 17-12 doesn't instill confidence.
