prof1le Ballot for 2017 Week 10

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 30, 2017, 1:12 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I built a computer rating system that takes mostly simple statistics that do include strength of schedule and margin of victory to create what I think is a pretty good general ranking. To avoid weird early season rankings, I added a "bias" score. This score starts with the AP preseason poll and uses it entirely in the first week, and less and less so as the season goes on. The system at this point in the season no longer uses the bias, but may still effect teams indirectly. My system isn't perfect though, so I add my own "eye test" to the rankings is provides. I will never move a team more than 5 spots from where the computer ranks it, as any farther and I think it would be more my ranking than the computers. This week I'll also add the score my system generates as the team reason, to get an idea of what separates the teams
