MemeLovingLoser Ballot for 2023 Week 4
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 17, 2023, 9:18 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Based on team statistics in each game, with each category being weighted differently, and more recent games having more weight to bring it more inline with human polls. Poll considers the 12 most recent games a team has played (including prior year and bowls), with prior year games and games against FCS schools being given less weight (poor performance still hurts, but "good stats" don't help nearly as much). Weightings may be tweaked season-to-season, but not mid-season. Teams must have played 12 games as an FBS school to qualify for a ranking.

Their win against South Carolina really helped them with me. They were #6 last week for me. The SECs habit of playing FCS schools, hurts them a bit when it's a more recent game. |
