Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 7, 2023, 5:04 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, high profile incoming transfers along with recruiting success 2-3 years ago, and program stability (same HC, QB1, etc). As the season gets going, I slowly switch to the eye test and resume for this season so far.
