Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 12, 2022, 11:58 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Using only location-adjusted margin of victory, come up with a rating that results in the least error possible. The rankings are gonna be weird until week 6 or so, but on the plus side this model has no bias added, other than the assumption that good teams score more points than bad teams.
