Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 21, 2023, 8:20 p.m.

Overall Rationale: My ballot uses metrics like SP+ and FPI as a reference point and places an emphasis on factors such as strength of victory, margin of victory and vibes. All wins aren't created equal and head-to-head isn't the be-all, end-all when filling out a ballot. This preseason poll will be proven hilariously wrong come January.
