The-Gothic-Castle Ballot for 2018 Week 4

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 17, 2018, 10:36 a.m.

Overall Rationale: My computer poll seeks to compare how a team does versus their opponent's average opponents. It takes into consideration offensive points scored, defensive points allowed, MOV, strength of schedule, and teams' overall records. Early in the season, team averages are not necessarily accurate, single losses to good teams (like TAMU losing to Clemson) can hurt a team significantly (where later in the season it is more evened out assuming they continue to perform at a high level), and SOS values might change according to how teams that appear strong/weak early in the season demonstrate their true levels of production. I expect this poll to become more accurate week by week, but with the exception of a few hiccups, I think this is a pretty good week 4 poll.
