JaxofAllTrades13 Ballot for 2018 Preseason

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Aug. 17, 2018, 10:14 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Welcome to JaxofAllTrades13's Inaugural Poll! The poll is simple; I have a select number of stats I like in teams and a formula to mash those stats into a score (see below). Now, that's a lot of number crunching, so that's where the human element comes in. I only run the formula for teams I believe deserve to have a shot at being ranked. Examples:  Week 6: you're 6-0, you're getting checked and I'd be in shock if you're not ranked.  Week 6: you're a G5 team at 5-1, you're getting checked and probably ranked.  Week 6: you're a P5 team 3-3 that beat Bama, I'm checking you, but you probably won't have the stats to get ranked.  Week 6: you're a P5 team at 3-3 with no ranked wins, I'm unlikely to check you.  Week 6: you're a team that's 0-6, I'm not wasting my time checking you.Somebody's not going to like where they end up. Sorry, not sorry. I'm sticking with this formula for this season. I'll be tracking how often I'm way off the official poll, and if this is bad, I'll scrap it next season and try again. If you want to know if I checked your team/what their rank was outside of the Top 25, just ask! Here's the formula: (Average Margin of Victory) + (Average Margin of Yards per Game)/50 + (Turnover Margin)/3 + (Ranked Wins)*3 = ScoreBasically: 1 Ranked win = +9 Turnover margin = +3 MoV = +150 Yd/game marginHere is post the Postseason from last as the Preseason Ballot and an example!
