Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 11, 2021, 8:43 p.m.
Overall Rationale: I have a computer poll built to only take into account wins, losses, and game margin, and then finds the most efficient set of power rankings for all teams, with a weight adjustment to account for recency and number of games played between the two teams. Deep dive can be found here if I don't post this to the thread immediately: time https://www.reddit.com/user/DataDrivenPirate/comments/q5o1vb/week_5_transitive_margin_power_ratings/
