Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Aug. 19, 2019, 3 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Mostly a human based poll that includes the "eye test" as well as style of play. Wins are slightly weighed based on conference, the opponent and the amount of wins. This will become more apparent as bye weeks and/or cancellations start to take shape. The computer portion utilizes things like SoS, SoR and MoV. The preseason poll is influenced by various factors including, but not limited to: previous season's performance, returning production and expectations.
