Overall Rationale: The purpose of this ranking is to establish a rubric for judging teams based on accomplishments for games played this season. In summary, this ranking groups teams based on W-L performance with a rudimentary SOS consideration. The order of teams within each grouping is randomized to provide a fair separation mechanism within each grouping. All 1-loss or better P5 teams and undefeated G5 teams are considered eligible for ranking. Exceptions: teams that have only played 2 games are removed from eligibility unless they have defeated an otherwise eligible team (i.e. "too soon to tell based on games played"). For the purposes of this ranking, BYU and Notre Dame are considered P5 due to scheduling at least 4 P5 teams. 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.Teams are grouped according to point totals and randomized within each grouping. Other Pot 2 teams: Temple, Colorado, Iowa, Air Force, Oklahoma
