Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Sept. 24, 2018, 12:42 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Struggled a lot with G5 teams like Memphis and North Texas and UCF and Fresno State. 3 or 4 slaughters of bad opponents would give them lots of points, but I am not sure they are actually good yet. 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.
