Points = 0.50 \u00d7 Strength of Record rank + 0.30 \u00d7 B1G+A blended rating rank (a weighted blend of FPI and the B1G+A Power Rating; see Power Rankings) + 0.20 \u00d7 loss rank (FBS teams ordered by fewest losses, ties share a rank) \u2212 2 \u00d7 wins over teams in that week's AP Top 25 (final games only). Lowest points ranks first; ties go to the better SOR rank. Head-to-head rule (from Week 8): if Team A beat Team B, A is placed directly ahead of B when B's blended rating is at most 7.0 points higher and A's points are no more than 8.0 worse than B's (split series and circular results are ignored). SOR and FPI are copied from public feeds at publish time (\"last updated\" stamp is shown); the B1G+A blended rating is refit from all FBS results before publishing. Normally published Sundays at 10 AM CT, before the AP and Coaches polls come out. This Week 9 ballot was published Tuesday, Oct 27, after the Week 9 polls were released; its wins bonus uses the Week 8 AP poll (Oct 18).",
