ryumast3r Ballot for 2019 Week 10

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 27, 2019, 6:48 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. 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.
