Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 16, 2019, 9:33 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Revamped margin-aware ranking system. The system attempts to rank each week's performance by score, opponent, and opponent's current record to give winners points and subtracts points from losing teams. FCS teams are all assumed to be rank #131, which is frankly the poll's biggest weakness. Results usually normalize around week 8, I tend to get outliers in the weeks prior to that.
