Submitted: Sept. 25, 2017, 7:32 a.m.

Overall Rationale: I've tweaked my model a little bit to balance rewarding on field success and predicting future success. At this point it still uses some pre-season assumptions but those will fade out going forward as teams get in to their conference schedules.One weird artifact of this is that FSU is still a top 10 team despite being 0-2. I'm not wild about that but it is what is is.
