calidoc Ballot for 2017 Week 11
Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Nov. 6, 2017, 7:20 p.m.
Overall Rationale: The model uses a "game score"
mechanic. You get points for beating an opponent and lose points for
losing to your opponent. Points gained are equal to the rank of the
opponent in the prior week (i.e. if you beat #1 you get 131 points, if
you lose to #1 you lose 1). Strength of Schedule and overall
W/L rank are added. Additionally, I factor in my ballot from last week
and /r/CFB rankings from last week to balance it out. Adding my ranking
and the /r/CFB ranking helps break up the ties that the model creates
because opponents have similar game scores at the start of the season.I
will manually move some teams at the end of my rankings, this is mostly
15-25 which gets muddled with ties.
