ExternalTangents Ballot for 2017 Week 4
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 18, 2017, 10:41 a.m.
Overall Rationale: My ranking is a backward-looking, achievement-based system. This is not a predictive ranking, it is solely descriptive of teams' accomplishments during the current season. 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. When the system has too little data early in the season, some unusual results may show up.
