PlactusTX Ballot for 2022 Week 15 & Bowls
Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Dec. 5, 2022, 9:24 p.m.
Overall Rationale: I have a computer rank all 131 I-A teams. Then I take the top 32 (usually 40, but I didn't see a need for 33-40 this week), 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.
