DoveFood Ballot for 2017 Week 4
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 18, 2017, 8:25 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Heavily dependent on resume.Since the sample size is so small for teams, and in turn it's hard to determine what truly is a quality win, I do some eye test/expected how good the losing team will roughly be when I determine what win is better than the other.A quality loss is good when comparing to other losses, but I don't value a loss over say Alabama, over a win over **insert average team**. So right now, with so many undefeated teams and no one-loss teams with really good wins, I don't have any team with a loss ranked. Pre-season hype shouldn't supersede actual results on the field.
