TheCid Ballot for 2016 Week 4
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 18, 2016, 9:46 a.m.
Overall Rationale: This is an poll-of-polls of 8 different computer polls. There are no preseason expectations or conference adjustments (even P5/G5 separation) - teams all start on a level footing and are treated equally.Since we currently only have 3 weeks' worth of data, expect this to look different from human polls since teams have not yet had enough games to match their perception. In particular, beating a "good" team that's now 1-2 isn't really helping; but if that team were to win more games as the season progresses (as is expected by human pollsters) the computer would come more in line with that.
