Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Sept. 11, 2023, 9:35 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Using Sharp College Football's Beta_Rank to assess how strong a team is, while manually controlling for actual wins/losses to assess who is having the best season. Still relying a lot on preseason data, so results could be weird for a couple weeks
