Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Sept. 17, 2018, 8:45 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Did you know, Kansas leads the FBS with a +12 Turnover margin? I expected this week to look better and... It doesn't. Last year, it was after Weeks 4-5, right after most teams first conference game, when it really settled in. I expect I'll be in the "most controversial" section for this week and raged at. :/ HOW THE BALLOT WORKS: I pick teams I think deserve to be ranked and then pull MoV, Yds/game for and against, turnover margin, and ranked wins to give each team a score from a formula. I don't adjust teams after scores are given. I don't care if you had a great recruiting class. I don't care if you were #1 last week. I don't care that you will end up 10-2 if you are 1-2 this week.
