Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 6, 2023, 8:01 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Excited for another season. Methodology for preseason polls (and even polls for the first few weeks) is kind of a crapshoot. I'd say most of this is "vibes" based on end-of year results from last year mixed in with me skimming through recruiting info and returning production
