Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Aug. 23, 2022, 11:33 a.m.

Overall Rationale: My points formula begins calculating following week 1 games. Thus, my preseason rankings are based on the TeamValue metric I have created, which is primarily based on the Massey Composite Rating. At the beginning of the season, things will fluctuate greatly, but deviation will decrease with each passing week.
