hurricaneatx Ballot for 2024 Week 14
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 24, 2024, 9 a.m.
Overall Rationale: lend of power/resume-thinking, but gets more resume-based later in the season. I don't really care if a team moves drastically week-to-week. I am a fan of the Texas Longhorns. Head-to-head matchups matter when comparing similar records, but lose significance the earlier they are and the farther separated the teams are. [Teams in the ranking suburbs: Missouri, UNLV, Memphis, Duke, Washington State] [Teams in the ranking exurbs: LSU, Louisville, Georgia Tech, Texas Tech, Louisiana, Pittsburgh]
