If Badger Sports would have remembered to include Florida (whoops) I would probably be walking away with the trophy. Another reason could be because I idiotically forgot Ohio State. That would explain why I have 24 teams listed in the ballot. Next time I need to take a couple more minutes to make sure I recreated my ballot the way I want it.
So, back to my reasoning for throwing out the old ballot.

GO BEAVERS!
