Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 1, 2025, 10:48 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Since my record-based rationale got a lot of hate last year, going to still mainly consider record but also how good teams simply look; there's a right way to play ugly football(see the B1G West), and a wrong way to play flashy football.
