Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Nov. 22, 2022, 7:01 a.m.

Overall Rationale: This model assumes transitive margins apply across teams, and seeks to find the set of power ratings that minimizes the mean squared error. These are not adjusted for garbage time, which is an improvement I plan on making next year, as it results in some weird ratings (Penn State for example this week)
