Overall Rationale: #[Average Ranking Rankings (ARR!)](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PNrADDyhkQ409DY3naZZjGjq9rIn2wWkcfUpZqfCZn0/edit?usp=sharing)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 Michigan avg ranking 12.20, #65 Nevada avg ranking 59.75, & #130 UMass avg ranking 110.40) 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".
