ALStark69 Ballot for 2022 Preseason
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Aug. 12, 2022, 11:05 p.m.
Overall Rationale: It's the first poll of the year, a bit of bias (preseason and personal) is scattered throughout this poll (FSU, USC, Texas inclusion). As the season goes on, the polls will rapidly shift towards a more serious tone using resumes.
