Colton3690 Ballot for 2022 Week 8
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 18, 2022, 1:42 a.m.
Overall Rationale: My poll is a resume based ranking of a team's quality of wins to date. It is not forward looking and individual rankings should not be interpreted as higher ranked teams will always beat lower ranked ones, but instead gives credit to a team's collection of wins in who they beat and how. This means that the start of the season will have a large amount of variability and teams have the ability to make large moves up and down the rankings, but this tends to normalize as the season goes on and more data points are collected. A few principles I believe in are that there is no such thing as a "quality loss" and all losses should hurt the resume of a team; head to head results matter; and small schools are just as deserving of access to a national title as name brands.
