Overall Rationale: #[Average Ranking Rankings (ARR!)](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G6XwWYRvVf62XtP3_IPDpUnG59PfHAXvm52fBWFaAYE/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 ~~130~~ ~~131~~ 133 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 Texsa (yuck) avg ranking 17.14, #66 Wyoming avg ranking 62.91, & #133 Akron avg ranking 104.39) 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".
