Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 24, 2023, 8:43 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Assessment of Strength & Schedule - On-field results are the most important metric. This ranking focuses on a team's strength of record and the "eye test". I may incorporate data from ESPN as the season progresses, but for now, this is a strictly human ranking.
