Sproded Ballot for 2018 Week 6

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 1, 2018, 9:30 a.m.

Overall Rationale: The main basis for this ranking is to determine the most DESERVING teams so far. This means that I might rank a team that I think is worse than another team higher if they have a better resume so far. I also don't consider FCS teams or games against FCS teams since they have a different scholarship limit and don't have the same playoffs. To do this, I first create a rating for each team which is a consensus of the 25 most accurate computer polls in the past 5 years. This is my basis for how good a team is. I then use that rating to compare wins between 2 different teams against each other. Teams are also not punished for playing against better teams when compared to other teams. For example, if Team A is 11-1 and their loss was to the #1 team, while Team B is 12-0 and their best win was against the #10 team, Team A would not be punished for their loss, and if it was close they would be rewarded. I also don't care if Team C beats the #97 best team by 50 points while Team D beats the #40 best team by only 7. A win against a good team is better than a blow out win against a bad team. However, a blow out win against a good team is better than a close win against an equally good team.
