Let’s do something fun here, what I would like is for 10 participants to pick 3 teams each and tell where they should be ranked. The catch is that you can’t move a team, or cause another team to move 5 places from where they originally started.

I’m also going to allow participants to include (if they wish) 1 team that did not make the original top 25, their default ranking will be 26 and they can be ranked anywhere between 21-30.

If you move a team up, then you take the former team’s ranking and push everybody elses ranking down. If you move a team down, you take the former team’s ranking and push everybody else up. The only exception is that a team cannot move 5 spots from their original ranking. I’ll be sure to enforce the rules and adjust accordingly

You will be able tell if a team was already selected with (-) symbol before their ranking. You cannot touch this team, though you can effect it’s ranking by moving other teams not already in use.

I’m using the Athon preseason rankings and will continue to adjust this post. I think it will interesting to see the end result.

-1 Alabama (3)
-2 LSU (2)
-3 USCw (1)
4 Oregon (4)
5 Oklahoma (5)
6 USCe (10)
-7 FSU (9)
-8 Ohio State (6)
-9 Michigan (7)
10 Nebraska (14)
-11 Texas (11)
-12 Wisc (17)
-13 UGA (8)
-14 Clemson (15)
-15 WVU (12)
-16 VT (16)
-17 Ark (13)
-18 Stanford (21)
19 Louisville (22)
-20 Mich St. (18)
-21 GT (26)
-22 Ok St (19)
23 Wash (25)
-24 TCU (22)
-25 Notre Dame (20)
-26 Southern Miss (26)
-27 NCSU (26)
-28 Boise St (24)
29 (26)
30 (26)
30 (26)

Ohio State (16)
Notre Dame (25)
OK ST (23)

If I got to add one it would be NC State at 25 (do this before moving ND and push ND to 26 or if not put State at 26).

Ohio State is out of play since it’s one I originally moved, but with the addition of NCSU you have your 3 moves.

25 is the lowest Notre Dame can move, you can move NCSU at 21-30 as long as it does not push another team higher or lower than their original ranking which will in parentheses.

These are valid.

GT already moved. Pick a team that does not have a minus (-) symbol in front of it’s ranking or you can pick another team that is not up on the list, that deserves to be in the top 30, but remember that they can be anywhere between 21-30.

I had to make some adjustments to make this work within the rules. Remember, no team can be bumped higher or lower than 5 spots from their original ranking.
