twitter_paulbd Ballot for 2022 Week 9
Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Oct. 25, 2022, 4:59 a.m.
Overall Rationale: My hybrid meme poll focuses on all that I love about college football (outside of the Tide). The College Football Empires Map, undefeated teams, and other blue blood programs. Poll Rules: Teams are first ranked by ownership of the oldest existing CFB Empires Land. Teams are then ranked by whether or not they are undefeated. Teams are then ranked by the number of poll era (AP and Coaches) national championships they possess. Finally, teams are ranked by my own subjective opinion. (This option is only used for tie-breaking purposes.) Note: The 1978 season is the farthest back I have researched on Empires Land. If you know of any active teams that own land before 1978, please let me know. [# of National Titles] (Year of Oldest Land)
