Darth_Ra Ballot for 2022 Week 8
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 17, 2022, 9:34 a.m.
Overall Rationale: For those who haven't seen my computer poll before, the general rundown is that it attempts to average an easily understandable "Master Ranking" number from all of the *rankings* of stats, power rankings, and other data I can get that includes all 130 teams that fairly compare teams and coaches across systems and conferences. In other words, I want to end up with a master number that is easily grokkable (#1 Ohio State avg ranking 10.07, #66 Michigan State avg ranking 62.30, & #131 Akron (Congrats on \#130, Hawaii!) avg ranking 108.15) that will tell you what the average ranking of a team is across a large spectrum of criteria that hopefully encapsulates what makes a football team "good".
