Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Nov. 15, 2022, 2:57 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. After the Pac-12 implosion, it should be said that only the top 4 control their destiny. Tennessee, Clemson, and USC all need some form of help to have a clear path, and USC likely has the toughest path with 3 straight potentially ranked matchups on the horizon.
