Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Dec. 13, 2020, 1:27 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Similar methodology as last week, full table here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FoA3qrDX7UUKU7jFy_F_q-ESiPxHm9sdbvBvV5k6HoM/edit?usp=sharing. Keeping the threshold at 28. All 8 undefeated teams and all 9-1 or better teams are ranked by rule, and all sub-.500 teams are unranked. This allowed #29 Liberty, #41 Louisiana, and #47 SJSU in at the expense of #25 Tulane, and #20 Wisconsin and #23 LSU were out. Teams I ranked that may not be include #16 UCF, #21 Auburn, and #24 Oregon. Teams I didn't rank that might be include #30 Oklahoma State, #35 Tulsa, and #37 Miami.
