Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 2, 2023, 12:47 p.m.
Overall Rationale: My poll started with a predictive/power ranking and will shift gradually through the course of the season to end with a resume based ranking. Dropped: #12 LSU: I'm now totally out on this defense, not sure I expect to see them back
