ToeInDigDeep Ballot for 2024 Week 8
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 13, 2024, 2:52 p.m.
Overall Rationale: This week I continue to use this submission to highlight some programs that have had strong early season performances that I consider worthy of down-ballot recognition. I remain less sold on some teams and conferences than others are, and that is also reflected in my ballot submission. I will privilege undefeated and one-loss teams over those with multiple losses.
