Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 6, 2022, 12:09 p.m.

Overall Rationale: My model only takes into account point differential, adjusted for week and location (recent games get more weight.) The first few weeks I take into account last year's games and adjust by returning production, because the model doesn't have enough data yet. Once all teams have played at least 2 games, prior season data is completely dropped. First five out: Michigan State, Penn State, UCLA, BYU, Purdue
