Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 17, 2023, 1:47 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Okay, this poll is going to be bizarre compared to what I usually do – I usually go full resume, but it's really hard to do that and have a ranking that doesn't look like you clicked shuffle on the undefeated teams. It's still almost all resume, but I'm going to focus a bit on which teams I think would beat the others if they played and stuff like that, to hopefully temper the insanity a little. Next week I think we'll have enough data points where it stops looking like you fired up a blender on the undefeated teams...hopefully.
