the_lost_carrot Ballot for 2023 Preseason

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Aug. 18, 2023, 1:34 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Composite poll utilizing a weighted system of multiple polls - the average of the 6 BCS computer polls is 45% - ESPN FPI is 10% - An average of 7 other 'auxiliary' polls is the remaining 45% Strive to be as 'data driven' as possible, without human weighting. May adjust methodology as the season goes by if some polls are introducing too many outliers or deviations. - Another note is some polls have delayed release, those polls will be omitted on weeks when they do not have updates. - Rankings may be odd in the early weeks as not enough games have been played.
