ToeInDigDeep Ballot for 2022 Week 4
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 19, 2022, 5:22 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Perhaps controversially, I will continue to not rank anyone who has lost through this week. Yes, Utah, Baylor, Oregon, and others are likely to be top-25 teams, but do not appear on my ballot this week. Instead, I will highlight teams who won, and make some picks that draw attention to teams who merit special consideration this week.
