Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 17, 2022, 11:50 a.m.

Overall Rationale: My poll functions as points standings rather than power rankings, awarding opponent adjusted points for each win based on the Massey Ranking Composite. Bye weeks have shaken up the rankings a bit, causing Clemson to rise to the top while Tennessee, TCU, and Ohio State are on the outisde looking in. As the number of games played evens out over the next two weeks, we will get a clear look of the playoff picture heading into November.
