Meany_Vizzini Ballot for 2023 Week 4

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 17, 2023, 4:07 p.m.

Overall Rationale: 1/2 Accelerated ELO, 1/4 FPI, 1/4 SP+

Rank Team Reason
1 Texas Longhorns 25.9 (-1.8), -
2 Washington Huskies 24.8 (+3.6), +8
3 Ohio State Buckeyes 24.2 (+0.6), -
4 Oklahoma Sooners 23.9 (+1.3), +1
5 Florida State Seminoles 23.4 (-3.6), -3
6 Penn State Nittany Lions 23.3 (+0.2), -2
7 Ole Miss Rebels 22.7 (+1.0), +1
8 Georgia Bulldogs 21.7 (+0.4), +1
9 Miami Hurricanes 21.4 (+0.9), +2
10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 20.6 (-1.4), -3
11 USC Trojans 19.4 (-2.9), -5; My model currently treats all FCS teams as equal, and Stanford lost to (one of the best FCS teams in) Sacramento State. So USC's strength of schedule to this point dropped off a cliff over the bye week. My goal is to have Accelerated ELO for FCS teams next year. Regardless, USC still would have dropped to around 8th.

13 Utah Utes 18.6 (+1.2), +2
14 Duke Blue Devils 18.4 (+2.4), +4
