Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Sept. 30, 2019, 6:30 p.m.
Overall Rationale: My poll is a hybrid. I take the results of a computer poll of my own creation and split the teams into tiers based on where it makes sense to break the values. I then look at just the teams within the tiers and re-rank within them based on my observations and feelings of the teams.Computer poll has a preseason component and a performance-based component. I phase the preseason component out as the season goes along. For this week, the preseason component is still 30% of the overall calculation.I also provided the tiers, but not the more detailed reasoning that I usually do, do to time constraints this week. If you have any questions on my reasoning for anything, respond to my comment in the poll discussion thread and I'll do my best to answer it.
