Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Aug. 23, 2022, 11:48 a.m.

Overall Rationale: My computer poll makes every team start at 0 points to start the season and I haven't bothered with a way to come up with a pre-season ranking formula using the previous year's data. As a result, this will be a hybrid poll between my final poll last year and my personal opinion.
