College football rankings after week 6

Welcome to the MVP Chase, where I look for, or chase, the best objective criteria in determining greatness without personal subjective bias.

Today's Topic: College football rankings after week 6

Here is my college football ranking for the games played after Week 6. The system is a simplified +/- point system based on margins of victories, controlling for runaway scores. Victories against (lower division) FCS teams are not rewarded at all, while losses to FCS teams are punished.

All teams that are tied in my ranking are listed alphabetically.
