prof1le Ballot for 2017 Week 13
Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Nov. 20, 2017, 10:22 a.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
