Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 9, 2024, 1:03 p.m.

Overall Rationale: weighted composite rankings using computer BCS polls (A&H, BIL, Colley, MAS, SAG, Wolfe) the ESPN FPI, and some auxiliary computer polls selected on merit (MOR, DWI, BWE, DII, DOK, HOW, OSC, PGH, PIR). Many of these polls are not available until later in the season. Polls (especially AUX polls used are subject to change during the first few weeks of the season based on their availability when this poll is due; will update my methodology when/if poll changes. No changes in second half of season.)
