BosskOnASegway Ballot for 2016 Preseason

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Aug. 30, 2016, 7:35 a.m.

Overall Rationale: My preseason model combines 3 polls, my traditional max likelihood preseason projection, my personal ranking , and the AP Poll (which I felt was exceptionally good this year and used as a sanity check).   Both my personal poll and computer projection each get weighted doubles (50 points for first place).  The AP poll gets a vote out of 25 points.
