Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 17, 2024, 2:18 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Preseason rankings are tough. I am basing this mostly off my analysis and predictions for how these teams will perform this season. I also use a head to head neutral site comparisons. If I am stuck between teams I usually go with who I believe would win a neutral site game between the two. Like I said preseason rankings are difficult and a little silly, but it’s still a fun way to kick off the season
