justsaynotoreddit Ballot for 2017 Week 9
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 22, 2017, 10 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Teams move up and down each week based on how actual MOV compares to predicted MOV. MOV is capped at 35. The number is somewhat arbitrary but 5 TDs is my subjective judgment of the point where a greater MOV doesn't really tell us anything more about how good teams really are. There is a preseason component based on last year's final rankings, returning production, recruiting rankings, and coach rankings. The preseason component diminishes as the season goes on. I am happy to answer any further questions about the poll.
