I calculate my rankings mainly based on strength of schedule, location of games, previous season, returning starters, and impact returners. I also go with past history in calculating. Usually, a team with one or more impact returners, but not necessarily returning a whole lot (i.e. UCLA) would be higher than a team returning a whole lot, but not very many impact players (i.e. Arizona State). So that is my determining factor.
