Overall Rationale: This ranking is based on recursive calculation, with a starting point of the preseason /r/CFB poll and applying the results of each game simultaneously. For that reason I could mark the poll as "hybrid", but I don't put my thumb on the scale at all other than deciding how it makes sense to weight things. Earlier games are always re-evaluated based on new information. Teams are graded on their offensive and defensive performances separately, with three criteria: number of points scored or allowed, the strength of the opposing unit in that game, and whether the game was won or lost (wins receive a x4 boost automatically). Next 10: Tulane, Miami, Clemson, Washington State, Kansas State, Texas A&M, Air Force, Kansas, Liberty, Kentucky
