Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Nov. 8, 2020, 10:36 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Same methodology as last week, full table here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FoA3qrDX7UUKU7jFy_F_q-ESiPxHm9sdbvBvV5k6HoM/edit?usp=sharing. A few hybrid elements this week: #20 Iowa is 1-2 and so was left off. I drew the line at 3-0 for automatically ranking teams, which let #26 Northwestern and #35 Nevada in, but not #38 Purdue (2-0) or good 1-loss teams like #27 App State, #30 SMU, #32 Oklahoma State, #39 Louisiana, or #56 Army. Washington would have been team #25 normally. Other teams that may end up ranked that I did not include #31 Iowa State, #33 Utah, #41 USC, and #53 Tulsa. Teams I ranked that may not be include #15 UCF, #17 Auburn, and #22 SJSU.
