Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Jan. 13, 2021, 1:02 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Few thoughts from the bowl season: 1. I was wrong about the XII 2. The American and ACC were disappointing. 3. The bottom definitely got easier to figure out thanks to limited bowl participation as wins were more selective and therefore bigger boosts.
