Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Dec. 5, 2021, 11:13 a.m.

Overall Rationale: These are the teams I believe are the best in college football.
In general, I would expect any given team to win more than 50% of the
time on a neutral field against all the teams ranked below it.I start
with an average of predictive computer models and make subjective
adjustments as necessary.
