TheFlyingBoat Ballot for 2016 Week 10

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 1, 2016, 8:07 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Now that we've made it this far in the season, it's time for my methodology to change as we gear up for the CFP. I hope to roughly match the CFP in terms of placement of teams, and this poll will represent how the CFP would rank teams if I was in charge. Rankings are now heavily based on SoS, rankings are mostly non-sticky and I ave no problem seeing teams with backloaded schedules jump up now as we have a decent idea of the power of each team and what each win means.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide In terms of schedule, they have the #5 SoS and the #2 SoR. In computer rankings, they are #1 in FEI and #3 in S/P+.
2 Clemson Tigers In terms of schedule, they have the #15 SoS and the #1 SoR. In computer rankings, they are #4 in FEI and #2 in S/P+.
3 Michigan Wolverines In terms of schedule, they have the #56 SoS and the #4 SoR. In computer rankings, they are #3 in FEI and #1 in S/P+.
4 Washington Huskies In terms of schedule, they have the #69 SoS and the #5 SoR. In computer rankings, they are #6 in FEI and #6 in S/P+.
