Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Nov. 15, 2021, 12:13 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Based off of the algorithm I developed last year given the very strange season. Full rankings at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FoA3qrDX7UUKU7jFy_F_q-ESiPxHm9sdbvBvV5k6HoM/edit?usp=sharing. Methodology here: https://old.reddit.com/r/CFBAnalysis/comments/jfp3uk/2020_full_11000_rankings/. As with last week, I did not take a strict algorithmic ranking here and gave an extra bump to undefeated teams, but do show their rating in the reason for each team.
