frumious88 Ballot for 2017 Week 5
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 25, 2017, 10:53 a.m.
Overall Rationale: My poll is a computer poll that I have been running for several years. It is loosely based of the Ohio highschool football rankings. Basically, it treats all FBS teams as equal at the start of the season. Teams get points for beating teams and get secondary points for how their opponents do against other teams. For example, Alabama beating Florida St in Week 1 is not worth very many points at the beginning of the season but if Florida St continues to win, Alabama gains more and more points every week from that victory as the system starts to recognize it as a quality win only if Florida St proves to be a quality win over the course of the season.
