crownebeach Ballot for 2021 Week 8

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 18, 2021, 10:25 a.m.

Overall Rationale: The idea of this ranking is that I would pick higher-ranked teams to beat lower-ranked ones on a neutral field. I care more about peripheral statistics than about resume alone; I also ignore head to head where I have any alternative. I take injuries into account -- a team that was missing a key player for a certain game or that has made a personnel change since a big game could get a bump, or a team that lost a key player long-term might get docked. I care about roster talent less than computer rankings do, but I do give more talented teams a longer leash after an uncharacteristic performance or show more caution about moving up a team with limited roster talent.
