Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Jan. 9, 2018, 11:58 a.m.

Overall Rationale: This
is my first year using a computer poll, which I have set up to evaluate every
team's ENTIRE resume from scratch each week. Questions, comments, concerns,
suggestions, and obscenities are all welcome.


 


Conference championship and
CFP games are given extra weighting.


 


For this season, margin of
victory, common opponents, and head-to-head match-ups are NOT explicitly
factored in, but probably will be in the future.
