Overall Rationale: This is a computer poll that only accounts for number of wins, wins against ranked teams (defined by the poll itself - so no outside input like AP or CFP), opponents' record, and scoring margin. There are tie-breaker procedures to account for ranking of those with the same score, including which of the several teams with the lowest rankable score make the 25 cut and which do not. Those are available upon request.
