ShogunAshoka Ballot for 2022 Week 8

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 17, 2022, 9:50 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Doing some tweaking to my method after my first draft was a bit more outlandish than usual. At first I thought it was not punishing losses enough but perhaps it was instead over rewarding wins. This week, teams get 1 point per win, then .5 for each win by opponents they have beaten (secondary points). Decent road wins add a .5 per win. Losses do not incur negative points in this set up, but neither does anyone benefit from losing to only top teams. They simply gain for wins and wins alone. Top of FCS are counted on a team's wins as I consider them at least equal to bottom level g5. Other FCS are not. Might consider changing that going forward. The most obvious glares this week I think are Oregon and OKST being outside the top25. OKST especially has gotten very little in secondary points from their schedule as Baylor drops another. CMU and Arizona St face winnable stretches so they may get some more help from them finally. They have a great chance to improve it on their own with Texas, KSU, and Kansas all ahead. Oregon meanwhile hasnt gained many secondary points the last two weeks. Oregon St is the other side of the coin, benefitting from secondary points as teams they beat win.
