ryumast3r Ballot for 2019 Week 8

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 14, 2019, 8:32 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I took the BROHM methodology from u/factorialite but with a few minor
changes. First, this ranking system is pretty bad (though amusingly
quite good in some ways, a la finding Clemson/OU/Alabama highly
ranked at the end of last year). The way BROHM works is I have assigned
P5 teams 150 points to
start, G5 teams 100 points, FCS Playoff (last year) teams 75 points and
all
other FCS teams 50 points (which they cannot gain or lose but just stay
at 50 always. This ends up not mattering much as they don't play enough
highly-ranked teams to show up). For each game, a team contributes half
of its points
into the game pool (so if a P5 team starts against another P5 team they
each contribute 75 points). Then, they take out points based on their
Pythagorean share in that game
(PointsFOR^2/(PointsFOR^2+PointsAGAINST^2)). This way, it's possible for
a "bad" team to play a "good" team close and ultimately win points
despite losing the game. Alternatively, it is possible for a "good" team
to win a game and ultimately lose points to a "bad" team by not beating
them by enough.
