Darth_Ra Ballot for 2021 Week 2
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 7, 2021, 11:29 a.m.
Overall Rationale: For those who haven't seen my computer poll before, the general rundown is that it attempts to average an easily understandable "Master Ranking" number from all of the stats, power rankings, and other data I can get that includes all 130 teams that fairly compares teams and coaches across systems and conferences. In other words, I want to end up with a master number that is easily grokkable (#1 Alabama avg ranking 12.10, #65 Baylor avg ranking 64.07, & #130 UNLV avg ranking 113.07) that will tell you what the average ranking of a team is across a large spectrum of criteria that hopefully encapsulates what makes a football team "good".Current rankings are being weighted with the preseason rankings (currently 9x, plan on going to 6x next week, then 3x, then it should stand on its own feet!)
