IMissMW2Lobbies Ballot for 2022 Preseason

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 20, 2022, 12:31 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I feel like too many polls try to match what the "Brains" pick. It's the preseason. Outside of the power players, you can be safe to pretend you're a network analyst, or you can make selections based upon the possibly irrational narratives you created in your head. I tried to find a middle ground. Instead of the "eye test", I used the "feel test". With the knowledge I have, this is simply where I think the teams deserve to start. When you aren't looking to generate revenue for a TV network, its easier to be objective about rankings. There's so many marquee teams I don't want to reward with unearned poll inertia. Additionally, there is constant player injury and staff turnover that makes it hard to truly feel confident making the middle/tail-end of this preseasons poll. Instead of typing further about my rationale, simply enjoy my picks as I'm sure they will change as week 1 results come in (RIP in Peace ND and Oregon). It is the preseason after all.
