Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 13, 2024, 1:11 p.m.

Overall Rationale: These rankings are a pure resume based points system. Teams are assigned a tier based on their rating (1-7). 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 SOS based on Opponent's record. | 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 7 | Biggest Riser: Wisconsin (+34) | Biggest Drop: Rutgers (-36), Washington (-36) | New teams: James Madison, Arizona State | Dropped from rankings: Rutgers (20), Washington (21) | Next 5: Missouri, Iowa, Memphis, Tennessee, LSU | Worst Team Kennesaw State (-109.895 points) | | | | Playoff projections *Conference Autobid | | Rose: 2.
