Blogpoll: Week 9 Initial Ballot

*** Each week AOG will release an initial ballot based off a highly dubious mathematical formula (think Sagarin, KenPom, or RPI). It is certain that this initial ballot will be rife with error. Keep this in mind when crafting your response. AOG's final ballot will be tweaked based on sound reasoning in the commentary. BlogPoll final ballots are due by Wednesday of each week. ***

SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "

The Formula: currently I'm starting with these meta rankings and then adding additional win and loss factors (currently a points scored per week weighted by the strength of the opponent less a points allowed per week weighted by the the strength of the opponent).

Again, all anomalies belong to the formula, and the formula has changed from last week to this week.

I'd also like to thank those who commented last week. Your opinion matters. Help us shape our ballot!
