Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Sept. 23, 2019, 9 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Valuing undefeated status, ranked wins, OOC wins, conference record, and win total, effectively in that order. Avoiding too much "stickiness", attempting to allow volatility in rankings especially early season. Refining model to include analytical metrics such as S&P+ to adjust for conference strengths (even though I don't like it)
