Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 17, 2024, 2:23 p.m.

Overall Rationale: This week I continue to use this submission to highlight some programs that have had strong 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 continue privilege undefeated and one-loss teams over those with multiple losses.
