Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 22, 2023, 9:54 a.m.

Overall Rationale: This is a very vibes-based, throw-some-shit-at-the-wall analysis. My early-season philosophy is very much "prove it", especially toward teams that are always ranked absurdly high for no good reason (looking at you, Texas and A&M).
