malowry0124 Ballot for 2025 Preseason
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Aug. 14, 2025, 8:10 a.m.
Overall Rationale: I ranked teams while factoring in previous seasons' performance (record), SP+ projections, returning production, recruiting class rankings, and transfer portal class rankings. I did not consider any team that finished last season with a winning percentage of .500 or worse for this ballot.
