ExternalTangents Ballot for 2016 Week 5
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 26, 2016, 8:28 a.m.
Overall Rationale: My ranking is a backward-looking, achievement-based system. It takes into account only what teams have done this year, and it starts with the assumption that all teams are equal, then iteratively informs itself to how good teams actually are based on game results. It starts over from scratch each week. A detailed explanation of the calculations can be found here, and another explanation with some sample calculations can be found here, and another explanation, with some notes about limitations is here.
