Overall Rationale: All P5 teams with a win percentage of 0.70 (lowered from 0.75 to obtain 25+ teams) or better and G5/Independent teams with a win percentage of 0.80 or better are considered eligible for ranking. P5 teams with a win percentage of 0.66 or better who defeated an already eligible team are also considered eligible. This process is not repeated. Points are awarded as follows: +1 for defeating an eligible team, -1 for losing to an eligible team, -2 for losing to a non-eligible team, -1 for playing fewer than 4 P5 teams over the entire season. Teams are grouped according to point totals and randomized within each grouping. Other Pot 7 teams: Auburn, Michigan State
