tdoger Ballot for 2021 Week 4

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 20, 2021, 9:51 a.m.

Overall Rationale: I provide my interpretation of the computer's analysis of each top 4 team

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Bulldogs The computer loves their defense and strength of schedule. They'd be running away with this if they had a decently better offense. But it thinks their defense is good enough to win it all.
2 Alabama Crimson Tide The computer thinks that Alabama isn't elite at offense or defense, but is still great at both. And their SOS helps propel them to #2. There are no deficiencies in Alabama's scores in any category. just all around good.
3 Oklahoma Sooners The system thinks that Oklahoma is solid in every category, EXCEPT offensive efficiency. Oklahoma, according to this, relies too much on explosive plays, and therefore is vulnerable to a talented and disciplined defense.Additionally, their SOS is hurting them compared to the rest of the top 6.
4 Oregon Ducks The offense is decent, coming out ranked just above Georgia's offense. But well behind Bama and Oklahoma's. Again, the defense is decent as well, coming out a decent margin below the rest of the top 4. But that's mainly due to giving up yards, while the defense still has done a good job limiting points and causing turnovers.Oregon is benefiting from a tough schedule, and playing just generally well, but not exceptionally. Placing them at 4th.
