The Mixlr Six - Edition #1

We’re just over a week away from the first College Football Playoff Rankings of 2017 being unveiled. With that being right around the corner, the College Football folks at the Ultimate Sports Radio Network and Wellington Sports Radio on Mixlr.com have compiled their first Playoff rankings. Just for the heck of it, we'll call it The Mixlr Six. We asked Carter Floyd, Seth Eaves, Pierre Moss and Dan Vasta along with myself to give their rankings one through six to see what the rankings look like when compiled together.

Now, how did we come up with these rankings? Well obviously, it’s an imperfect science, but then again, isn’t everything in College Football rankings? We took the five pollsters’ rankings of teams and then averaged them out to see who had the best average ranking. If a tiebreaker was needed, then that was settled by which team had more votes. So how did each of our pollsters rank the teams?
