Overall Rationale: #[Average Ranking Rankings (ARR!)](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iKmDEGqHYOnTYIrOoR5Fu5gDUXP9rZCDfT7Ikp3CGcY/edit?usp=sharing) 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 7.33, #66 Houston avg ranking 59.93, & #131 Hawaii avg ranking 111.00) 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".
