Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 10, 2016, 10:39 a.m.

Overall Rationale: This is a computer ballot which rates teams based on comparison: how do you do compared to your opponents' other opponents? For example, scoring 35 points against a defense that usually allows 15 is obviously good, while scoring 35 on a defense that usually allows 50 is pretty bad. By running the model recursively the following rankings were obtained.Teams 26-30: Florida, San Diego State, Arizona State, Georgia, Washington State
