Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Sept. 25, 2023, 9:33 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Teams earn points for wins, road wins over opponents .500 or better, and for combined opponents record. The goal is to only base on what occurs on the field this year, ignoring preaseon, hype, etc. This is also why this poll doesnt begin right away (and ideally would later, you can see there is still some odd results this early).
