twitter_paulbd Ballot for 2025 Week 3
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 8, 2025, 11:29 a.m.
Overall Rationale: I rank teams in tiers. Tiers 1-3 are Bluechip Ratio Teams: 0 losses, 1 loss, and 2 losses. Tiers 4-6 are Power 2 teams: 0 losses, 1 loss, and 2 losses. Tiers 7-9 are Next 2 teams: 0 losses, 1 loss, and 2 losses. Tiers 10-12 are Group of 6 teams: 0 losses, 1 loss, and 2 losses. Within the tiers, teams are scored on their total resume: BC Win = 5 points, P2 Win = 4 points, N2 Win = 3 points, G6 Win = 2 points, FCS Win = 1 point, BC Loss = 0 points, P2 Loss = -1 points, N2 Loss = -2 points, G6 Loss = -3, FCS Loss = -5. If teams are tied after that, rank them based on my analysis of their performances.
