Overall Rationale: Teams are graded on offensive and defensive scales, based on the quality of their opponent, point total, and whether they won or lost. The two scales are combined together to produce the final ranking. Calculations are performed iteratively, so if one of your team's past opponents does very well, that will help you. As this is week 9, this is the final ranking that will contain any preseason knowledge. In this case, 10% of each team's ranking value comes from its placement in the /r/CFB preseason poll. Next 10: Navy, Tulane, Syracuse, Michigan, Louisiana, Iowa, Louisville, Illinois, Virginia Tech, James Madison
