Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Nov. 8, 2021, 10:50 a.m.

Overall Rationale: This is a computer poll based on how I would like to select programs for the CFP. I designed the poll and selection process prior to seeing the results for fairness.Basic principles:1. Poll should not use results from previous seasons/recruiting/etc... Only win/loss results.2. Poll should attempt to infer strength of team based off of win loss results, and strength of opponent.3. Final ranking is done by a simulated round robin tournament featuring every team in the ranking.
