Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 7, 2016, 1:04 p.m.
Overall Rationale: I think it would be hilarious to see people's reactions if the CFP has tOSU jumping Washington, which is certainly within the realm of possibility. I don't know what happened last week, but nothing after like my top 9 in terms of placements and my top 5 in terms of writing was saved. Sorry about that for those who choose to look at my poll for last week and go what the fuck was this guy on. This time I made sure to save my order and refreshed and will hopefully not have to submit my ballot from mobile without checking its validity next time. Anyways, posting my reasoning behind each team being positioned where they are would result in a lot of duplication of metrics, since that is basically all that goes into my ranking, besides the case of LSU. I treat LSU special because of their coaching change and the incredible change this team has undergone since then. The most important metric for putting teams in places is strength of record. After that comes the computers. Some of the top computer rankings I like to use after that are Sagarin, S/P+, and FEI. Following that comes my eye test, with the only extreme modification thus far being in LSU's favor.
