Darth_Ra Ballot for 2023 Week 2
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 5, 2023, 8:51 p.m.
Overall Rationale: #[Average Ranking Rankings (ARR!)](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SxT_E6X3gMid0MWLfQpSgglcp8KsMGcq5rVU7KVZVLY/edit?usp=sharing) 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 Alabama avg ranking 11.83, #66 Iowa State avg ranking 57.23, & #133 Arkansas State (sorry) avg ranking 92.18) 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".
