Ruhrgebietheld Ballot for 2022 Week 2

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 6, 2022, 10:08 p.m.

Overall Rationale: This is mostly based on how teams have performed to this point in the season plus what strengths/weaknesses they have shown so far. If those strengths are things that were previously expected to be weaknesses, then teams may move up significantly from where I had them in the preseason poll. Similarly, if the team showed a weakness that was previously expected to be an area of strength, they may move down significantly. Additionally, I didn't stick entirely to how things are relative to my preseason poll, because we now have hard evidence that is superior to the speculative conjecture necessary for the preseason poll. This includes removing teams from my top 25 entirely who I had in my preseason poll, as what teams have done on the field so far this season trumps whether they had a "quality loss" when there are still so many undefeated teams.
