Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Aug. 16, 2023, 8:38 a.m.

Overall Rationale: My preseason poll (and also my final tiebreaker throughout the season) is just based on the post bowl season result from last year. Tweaked the equation a bit so it’s a tad different than my close out ballot from last season.
