confirmd_am_engineer Ballot for 2018 Week 3
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 9, 2018, 9:18 p.m.
Overall Rationale: This is a ladder-style poll where all FBS teams begin at the same ranking. Wins get you points, and losses lose you points. How many points is determined by the current rank of your opponent and the margin of victory. At this point in the season most of the top teams have played two FBS opponents and beaten them by substantial margins, so they have high total scores. As wins and losses accumulate the poll will self-correct.
