Darth_Ra Ballot for 2021 Week 4

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 20, 2021, 8:58 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 16.96, #65 Northwestern avg ranking 57.92, & #130 Akron avg ranking 105.23) 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 3x).The poll takes into account each individual team's ranking in the following categories:Points Per PlayPoints Per Play AllowedYards Per RushYards Per AttemptYards Per Play AllowedSack PercentagePunts Per ScoreTeamRankings Predictive RankingsCongrove Computer PollTeamRankings Current SOS (Only games already played)Congrove Season SOSTurnover MarginMOVCoach Years @ SchoolCoach Win % @ SchoolPenalties Per PlayWins/Losses (Avg'd 4 times, Win%, Loss %, Total Wins, Total Losses)
