Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 20, 2023, 10:08 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I chose this based off of last season final poll with adjustments based of my opinion on player departures and additions or injuries. Such as Cam Rising at Utah. My ballot is not entirely scientific and relies on my perception of programs going into this season.
