Submitted: Nov. 13, 2016, 2:42 p.m.

Overall Rationale: 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. 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. Between close teams, H2H determines the order.
