Charlemagne42 Ballot for 2019 Week 13

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Nov. 17, 2019, 12:37 p.m.

Overall Rationale: 100% computer ballot. FORMAT: [computer score] commentary (change from last week) SELF-ASSESSMENT: 10 iterations (+2 from last week) GENERAL COMMENTS: Because this is a resume ranking, and two undefeated teams with very good wins lost, and there are a lot of one-loss teams, humans will think 6-20 or so are very strange.

Rank Team Reason
1 LSU Tigers [1607] (+0)
2 Ohio State Buckeyes [1547] (+0)
3 Clemson Tigers [1488] (+0)
4 Georgia Bulldogs [1139] Finally a quality win, and those above them lost too. (+3)
5 Oklahoma Sooners [1097] Finally a quality win, and those above them lost too. (+6)
6 Minnesota Golden Gophers [1087] Despite this week's performance, Minnesota still has a very strong win over a very strong Penn State team, and has dominated the remainder of their schedule. (-2)
7 Penn State Nittany Lions [1063] The aforementioned Penn State team picked up another genuinely good win against Indiana this week. (-1)
8 Oregon Ducks [924] Despite their soft, shitty schedule, the Ducks somehow managed an 8 spot. (+2)
9 Baylor Bears [921] Q U A L I T Y L O S S ... This is where the computer diverges from the media narrative. According to ESPN, only an SEC team or Ohio State/Clemson can be a true Quality Loss. The computer disagrees, and affirms that Oklahoma is a Quality Loss. (-4)
10 Alabama Crimson Tide [896] They've still played exactly one good team... and lost. (-2)
11 Utah Utes [894] Ditto. (+1)
12 Memphis Tigers [664] As the season wears on, G5 SoS will continue to slip. Only dominant wins can keep them afloat. (-3)
13 Boise State Broncos [565] (+3)
14 Florida Gators [563] (+3)
15 Appalachian State Mountaineers [556.4] (+3)
16 Wisconsin Badgers [555.6] (+7)
17 Michigan Wolverines [550] (+5)
18 SMU Mustangs [511] (-5)
19 Cincinnati Bearcats [507] (-4)
20 Auburn Tigers [386] Sharp, sharp drop-off from the 1-loss teams. (-6)
21 Iowa Hawkeyes [368] Now that's a Quality Win. (NEW)
22 Notre Dame Fighting Irish [330] (NEW)
23 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs [267] Another sharp drop off. Despite the loss to Marshall, LTU still has a more convincing resume than most teams. (-4)
24 Air Force Falcons [266] (NEW)
25 San Diego State Aztecs [258] (NEW) NEXT SEVERAL OUT: 26. Kansas State [257.6], 27. Virginia Tech [242], 28. Virginia [240.9], 29. Navy [240.6], 30. Louisiana-Lafayette [238], 31. USC [233], 32. Pitt [226], 33. Texas [220], 34. Wake Forest [213]. DROPPED: Navy (from 20), Texas (21), Kansas State (24), Indiana (25)
