Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 6, 2022, 1:59 p.m.

Overall Rationale: My approach for the first half of the season is trying to crystal ball the final top 25 based on factors like previous year success, starters lost, recruiting 2-3 years ago, and program stability (same HC, QB1, etc). In the second half of the season, I shift to the eye test and resume for this season so far.
