hurricaneatx Ballot for 2024 Week 7
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 6, 2024, 9:53 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Blend of power/resume-thinking. I don't really care if a team moves drastically week-to-week. I am a fan of the Texas Longhorns. No, I am not happy with my ballot for this week. Chaos reigns supreme. [Teams in the ranking suburbs: SMU, Army, Washington State, Colorado, Utah] [Teams in the ranking exurbs: Boston College, Rutgers, Arkansas, USC, Washington, Duke, Syracuse, UNLV, Louisville, Iowa, Memphis, Texas Tech, Arizona State, Arizona, Kentucky, Liberty, Cal, Oregon State, Vanderbilt]
