theb52 Ballot for 2021 Final
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Jan. 12, 2022, 11:02 p.m.
Overall Rationale: FIRST FIVE OUT: Kansas St (29.385), Houston, 29.286, Louisiana (28.786), Penn State (28.231), Oregon (27.714).  There are two ideologies for polls: 1. Who would win in a theoretical matchup? and 2. Who has the best report card? This is a 100% computer poll following the latter idea. At the beginning of the season it is hard to know which losses are quality losses and which are bad losses because of everyone's short resume`, so teams move around a lot early, but have steadied out by now. Here's the INTERACTIVE freshly rebuilt Google Sheet if you want to check it out. Go to the Team Summary tab and enter the team you're interested in. <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16My3i5VVLvHbTRD2GuJbogY9NHk0rfKmj3NOtHR4b14/edit?usp=sharing>
