Overall Rationale
I finally messed around with ranking teams based off strength of schedule. Dropped Houston/Miami/Texas, rose Purdue, etc. I also put UNC ahead of OU lmao. Happy New Year! I am high on Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, BYU, Clemson, James Madison, Ole Miss, Utah, and San Diego State. I am low on North Carolina, Gonzaga, Texas, Miami, and Colorado.
