Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 2, 2017, 10:41 a.m.

Overall Rationale: I run an algorithm based off billingsly to assign a value for each teams matchup, the multiply that by points scored and points allowed. I use this to set up a baseline ranking. I then adjust for bye weeks, garbage time, and other "eye test" factors.
