Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 4, 2024, 5:27 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Try to match efficiency metrics with quality of wins and losses. Basically an objective ranking, with an eye test tweak. Minimal justification and late this week as I was traveling for Pitt @ SMU. While we did get thoroughly annihilated, I found that I really didn't move Pitt down much - a road loss against another similarly ranked, and maybe underrated by metric, team is pretty in line with expectation. I think Clemson or Iowa State losing at home (in Iowa State's case, against a team with bad efficiency metrics) is far more disqualifying. Otherwise mostly straightforward, but I'm finally giving Ole Miss a bump for continuing to dismantle everyone in victory. Dropped out: Kansas State (19, loss), Memphis (25, loss). New this week: South Carolina (24), Vanderbilt (25). Next few out, mostly in order: Louisville, Missouri, Louisiana, Kansas State, UNLV, Arizona State, Texas Tech, Minnesota
