Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 4, 2021, 8:08 p.m.

Overall Rationale: ESPN's FPI, but I rank all of the undefeated teams first, followed by one loss teams, followed by two loss teams, etc. This week, there are less than 25 undefeated teams left, making the entrance of one loss teams onto my poll possible. Downsides: downplays how easy/hard a schedule is to a certain extent. Upsides: draws attention to teams that win the games they have on their schedule no matter what league they are in.
