Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 14, 2019, 10:33 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Rankings were first sorted by computer. Strength of Schedule now accounts for matches against Top 25 teams by computer. Then adjustments to the computer-based rankings were made blindly (no teams were listed next to their numbers, so I was going only off current data, and not notoriety).
