Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Oct. 11, 2020, 2:30 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Still using a similar methodology to last week: https://poll.redditcfb.com/ballot/48363/. Manual adjustments beyond the straight computer poll: 1. All teams with the best record (currently 4-0) are ranked. This week this only affected Liberty, who would be #43. 2. No teams with a losing record are ranked. This week this only affected LSU, who would be #19.Teams I haven't ranked that might get ranked: #26 Auburn, #27 Texas A&M, #28 Tennessee, #31 Kansas State, #33 Virginia Tech, #35 Iowa State, #37 USC, #41 Louisiana.Teams I ranked that may not get ranked: #10 Air Force, #15 Iowa, #18 Washington, #20 Memphis, #21 Boise State, #22 UCF, #25 Liberty.
