Darth_Ra Ballot for 2022 Week 15 & Bowls
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Dec. 5, 2022, 3:49 p.m.
Overall Rationale: 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 131 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 Michigan avg ranking 12.55, #66 SJSU avg ranking 66.69, & #131 FIU avg ranking 112.93) 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".
