sideoutpar Ballot for 2017 Week 4

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 18, 2017, 1:48 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Computer poll that accounts for wins, opponent's record, and scoring margin. Beginning next week, it will retroactively include opponents' current (ie, at time of poll, not at time of game) rankings. Score ties are separated by specific factors, record and and strength of schedule being paramount. Exact ties will be listed here in alphabetical order as there isn't (to my knowledge) a way of noting a tie.
