Submitted: Dec. 4, 2016, 1:20 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Congrats to Alabama and Western Michigan for undefeated seasons. These rankings are primarily based on a tiered system of who I think wins the majority of games on a neutral field against a team below their rank. WMU is ranked second separately, as a courtesy to winning all of their games.
