Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Aug. 18, 2023, 9:50 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Preseason polls are just guesswork. But I'm not believing UT is truly back until I see it.

I honestly do believe South Carolina is a team on the rise. They finished last year strong, updating Tennessee and Clemson and playing Notre Dame close in the bowl. And if I'm wrong, well, UNC is another team that is so frequently overrated that I want to see them prove something first. If UNC wins, then I get in line with the AP ranking the Heels, and if USC wins, I'm a week ahead of the curve. No lose situation. |

When I said "UT", I was referring to both of them, but even with all of the graduating talent, Tennessee shouldn't completely fall off...right? |
