Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 4, 2022, 2:51 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Numbers given are a projected point spread compared to an average FBS team. First 5 out are Duke, Ohio State (!), Tennessee, Kentucky, and BYU. Bottom 10 (best to worst) are FAU, Northwestern, Nebraska, Colorado State, South Florida, New Mexico State, Hawaii, Charlotte, Georgia State, and Army. I adjusted my methodology this week so that FCS wins count for nothing (but FCS losses still count as losses), so the rankings are more volatile week-to-week than usual.
