JaxofAllTrades13 Ballot for 2023 Week 3
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 11, 2023, 8:41 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Last Optional week, so I went with two rules: Be 2-0 or better. Beat one expected to be good team, or two teams who at least have a pulse. Thoughts: That resulted in a lot fewer teams than I would have hoped... At 16 teams, I had to scrap that a bit. Put in all 16 I got, then added other 2-0 teams I think will be good. Wow, B1G, your OOC so far is.... awful. SEC, not much better, though you did actually play some big games. Big XII, good record, but some embarrassing losses. Obviously teams like Bama will be in next week. I am avoiding getting too serious before the required weeks to decrease preseason poll inertia in my own ballots.
