Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Oct. 20, 2024, 10 a.m.
Overall Rationale: A hybrid poll that rewards performance based on where your opponent is ranked 1-134. Bonus points are awarded for away/neutral wins. The “human” element of the hybrid poll comes into play when I award points based on outstanding performance. Early polls look strange, but it will look better as the season goes on.
