Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 25, 2023, 10:03 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Teams are assigned a tier based on their ranking (T1=1-4, T2=5-12, T3=13-30, T4=31-50, T5=51-80, T6=81-110, T7=111-133). Points are gained for wins, subtracted for losses, based on the opponents tier. Small modifiers for game closeness (Win/Loss Bonuses/Penalties = WB, WP, LB, LP) and Opponent's record. | Tiers will change slightly week to week to settle numbers (ie: Tier 4 may extend to rank 53, because one team was flip flopping between rank 49 and 53, and causing other teams to go up down in points/ranking) | If two teams are next to each other in the rankings, and have played head to head, the head to head winner will be ranked higher, regardless of points. | | | | Week 4 | Biggest rises: Missouri (+18), Ohio State (+16), Utah (+15) | Biggest drops: Duke (-15), UNC (-11), Notre Dame (-7) | New teams: Oregon, Kansas, Texas A&M, Wisconsin, Louisville, Michigan, Maryland, Syracuse, Georgia State | Dropped from rankings: Wake Forest (9), Kansas State (12), Maryland (13), Georgia Southern (15), Syracuse (16), Cincinnati (22), Louisville (23), Kansas (25) | Next 5: Kentucky, USC, Liberty, Missouri, Syracuse, Maryland, Colorado, Wake Forest, Michigan |
