Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Sept. 18, 2023, 12:27 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Week 4 notes: At the moment, Deservedness only factored for the conferences with 9 conference games (Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12). Next week, it’ll be factored for the conferences with 8 conference games (ACC, SEC, American, CUSA, MAC, Mountain West, Sun Belt) and independents. General notes: -1st layer (computer portion): SP+, opponents’ SP+, opponents’ opponents’ SP+, opponents’ win %, opponents’ opponents’ win % -2nd layer (human portion): home/field/away, key injuries, P5/G5 status, watched game factors (ex: offensive/defensive line domination, rush yards after contact, average point of first contact, defensive penetration on non-inside screens, missed tackles, quarterback throwing release speed, overall turnovers, average starting field position, etc) -3rd layer (human portion): wins/losses vs higher-/lower-/non-ranked teams, recency of those results -4th layer (computer portion): Deservedness = team cannot be ranked over another team with 2+ fewer losses (ex: 10-4 Utah can be ranked over 11-3 USC, but 10-4 Utah cannot be ranked over 12-2 Troy even if Utah beat Troy heads up, rankings have Utah over Troy, and/or I think Utah is better than Troy)
