Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 22, 2018, 10:46 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Still riding too low on the Big XII(Texas 29). Texas A&M, get some ball security, yo. I mean, you are winning, but -5 ain't great. And if you want to see "skin of your teeth wins", check out San Diego State. 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.
