indexspartan Ballot for 2016 Week 4
Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Sept. 19, 2016, 11:30 p.m.
Overall Rationale: This poll is based "What have you done this season?" Therefore it will be very wacky at the beginning of the season as teams with multiple P5 or large MoV wins will be skewed towards the top. The poll awards points for victories and detracts points for losses based on opponent strength and margin of victory. Victories are weighted slightly more important than losses.
