Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Sept. 10, 2017, 3:45 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Model: MoV - MoL/Week #. MoV = Margin of Victory, MoL = Margin of Lose. *** Caveats: - W/L Record Caste System. All the undefeated teams are rank first, then one loss and so on.- Did you win this weekend? If no, then you're DQ'd from being ranked that week. This is a punishment for immediate losses, nothing personal. - Only FBS vs FBS are counted.- If you had a bye or played an FCS team (but have wins under your belt), you're the lowest on the totem pole. Example: If there are 20 undefeated teams left, including you, but you were on a bye, then you're rank 20. ****Note****: Ole Miss is DQ'd from ranking for the entire season because they're bowl banned.
