Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 20, 2024, 9:43 a.m.

Overall Rationale: I look at: Records, Opponents, Head to Head Matchups, Players and Coaching, Margin of Victory and Game Flow, and Eye Test. Preseason I consider a 3 year running trend of the previous metrics along with a heavier emphasis on player and coaching changes.
