Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Sept. 28, 2021, 12:49 a.m.

Overall Rationale: I realized my previous model needed some tweaks, as it was significantly underweighting new results. I adjusted it to give due weight to new results; this resulted in 2-3 Nebraska being ranked 13th. Rather than go with that, I decided to figure out a résumé rating. This is the result (note that having beaten Nebraska boosts OU and MSU here).
