Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Sept. 12, 2016, 8:56 a.m.
Overall Rationale: My early season model combines 4 polls, my 2 seeded early season polls, an unseed page rank poll, and my personal human poll. My personal poll counts for double each computer poll at this time. My early season model will be faded out to a model that includes 3 computer polls that only use data from this season.  I may eventually reduce my personal vote influence by adding a 4th poll or remove it entirely with a 5th but that remains to be seen.I have a firm rule in my personal polls, no team with a record under 0.667 can appear in the rankings in the first 6 weeks, after 6 weeks no team with a record under 0.750 can appear.Feel free to ask questions about any human poll results. The computer polls will be understandably strange this early.The human poll always breaks ties. If both teams are outside the top 25 in the human poll, but makes the top 25, the MLE ranking will the tie once it is up and running.  At the present the GLE model breaks the tie in these cases.  The table of rankings can be found in the poll thread.  I am more than willing to justify any of my human rankings or give any additional details about the computer models functions. Note: NR in the human poll ranking means I did not have them in my top 25.Note: If I get hate mail PMs from Michigan fans for a 3rd straight week despite having them ranked all 3 polls and the computer poll not the human poll dragging them down, I swear I will drop them from my poll permanently.
