Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Oct. 9, 2018, 8:14 a.m.
Overall Rationale: People who read these: ranked wins is not working as a good metric for schedule. (distant shouts of SEC circlejerk) What's a stat I can pull to replace that? And more importantly, one I can do quickly. HOW THE BALLOT WORKS: I pick teams I think deserve to be ranked 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 what your final record is if you are sub .500 now.
