Building a Preseason Top 25 Ballot ft. Akiva Poppers - D3 Datacast - Episode 51

We are about a week and a half away from the release of the preseason Top 25 for the 2023-24 Division III basketball season. In anticipation of that we are pleased to be joined by Top 25 voter Akiva Poppers!

Akiva and our very own Matt Snyder make up two of the 25 voters in the men’s poll. We hear from them about their process leading up to putting together the first ballot of the season. Beyond the general process, we get Akiva’s thoughts on some specific teams for the preseason top 25 and the process of producing Top 25 ballots throughout the season.
