Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 13, 2023, 7:29 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Mostly focus on H2H, common opponents, and a general "eye test" to determine who are the best 25. I also will post my poll and explanations for each spot in the r/cfb poll thread and tend to take into account feedback I get for future weeks if someone gives me a good explanation for why I am overrating/underrating certain teams.
