Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Sept. 15, 2024, 1:49 a.m.

Overall Rationale: At its base this is a computer poll. But as I am in the process of tweaking it and will be all season, it qualifies as more of a hybrid as I will fixing egregious issues and outliers. Comments if any are project playoff matchups if these were the final rankings.
