Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Jan. 22, 2026, 7:37 a.m.
Overall Rationale: This ranking formula measures overall team strength using results, schedule difficulty, quality of wins, and recency. It adjusts for game location, caps margin of victory, and gives bonus credit for beating top-ranked opponents. The final score ranks FBS teams by rewarding recent, high-quality performances against strong competition. My poll broke during the playoffs and did not have time to fix, marking as hybrid and doing best effort on what it outputed vs real results.
