Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 10, 2016, 4:21 p.m.

Overall Rationale: This computer places value on a team maintaining the same win% (bye) or a win, while punishing teams for losses. Along with that it factors in top 10 and 30 wins, strength of schedule, and the ELO score from the sagarin rankings. Along with that it uses a season average  average point margin (to try to compensate for early season cupcake blowouts). Because of this, top 10 matchup games are more likely to inflate a teams standing. As the season progresses and league play increases this should be compensated for.
