boonamobile Ballot for 2018 Week 6

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 30, 2018, 1:45 p.m.

Overall Rationale: This is my second year using a backward-looking computer poll that evaluates every team's ENTIRE resume from scratch each week. Rankings depend on your record, each of your opponents' records throughout the season (a rough SoS metric), and each of your opponents' opponents' records (a 'second order' SoS metric), with weight given to relative competition level (FCS, G5, P5). **NEW THIS YEAR:** The algorithm now accounts for margin of victory and 'game control' (% of points scored by each team), as well as head-to-head outcomes. **Primary shortcomings:** Common opponents are not factored in, and all FCS teams are treated as equal. Questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, and obscenities are all welcome.
