PlactusTX Ballot for 2022 Week 14
Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Nov. 28, 2022, 6:58 p.m.
Overall Rationale: I have a computer rank all 131 I-A teams. Then I take the top 40, and compare them one-on-one until it's sorted. Neither my computer ratings nor my considerations look at scores (beyond wins/losses) or recency.
