Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Jan. 9, 2024, 9:06 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Aside from the 4 playoff teams I left my final regular season ballot untouched (which ended up only swapping Michigan and Washington). Teams changed so drastically between the end of the regular season and the bowl games that I don't see a meaningful way to include those performances
