DampFrijoles Ballot for 2020 Week 2^3

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 26, 2020, 6:51 p.m.

Overall Rationale: There is a three-part method I use to determine my rankings. Note: my rankings only factor in teams that have played at least one game.1) I add the results of the AP and Coaches polls (using the 25 to 1 system) together and then getting the average. I also add in the results of teams that receive votes in those polls, and I determine their "score" by dividing the number of votes they received by the number of votes the 25th team eligible (that have played at least one game) received. 2) I use the BCS computer polls plus one outside computer poll and score using the same procedure as the human polls.3) I add the human and computer scores and average them into a "total score" that I tinker with using my own eye test. However, I don't stray too far from the combined human/computer ranking, usually a maximum of +/- three spots. I can't really give a reasoning for my changes, but it involves looking at teams' results, common opponents, and just a gut feeling based on seeing them play.Side note: a team must have received votes in a human and computer poll to be eligible, although this in practice means that only the teams in the AP and/or Coaches polls will be considered.
