Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Sept. 10, 2018, 8:59 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Still Hella goofy, but getting closer. Last year, it was the Week 4-5 right after most teams first conference game when it really settled in. I expect I'll be in the "most controversial" section for this week and raged at. :/ HOW THE BALLOT WORKS: I pick teams I think deserve to be ranked (this week is basically be 2-0 with a non-FCS opponent, or 1-1 with the loss being to a ranked team) and then pull MoV, Yds/game for and against, turnover margin, and ranked wins to give each team a score from a formula. I don't adjust teams after scores are given. I don't care if you had a great recruiting class. I don't care if you were #1 last week. I don't care that you will end up 10-2 if you are 0-2 this week.
