Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 20, 2023, 7:52 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I use this submission to highlight some programs that have had strong performances that I consider worthy of down-ballot recognition. I remain less sold on some teams and conferences than many others are, and that is also reflected in my ballot submission.
