Player_1_has_Joined Ballot for 2023 Week 6

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 2, 2023, 11:03 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Poll begins as a computer power ranking and then over the course of the season weights resume more and more. It is meant as a way to try and predict how the CFP will make its rankings. The ranking is starting to fall in line with how I feel the teams are generally perceived. There are a few outliers that I'll mention. Texas A&M, Michigan, Clemson. A&M feels too high at 15 but their resume is actually seen as a top 25 by my model and their power ranking has surprisingly climbed quite a bit over the last several weeks. Michigan is 4th in power rating by my model but has played an incredibly weak schedule that is holding them back. Surprisingly the overall score between number 4 and number 10 are very small right now so I expect there to be shake up in the order of the top 10 a lot through the next few weeks even if all these teams continue to see success. Clemson at 19 also feels high considering they are a 2 loss team. They have the worst resume of teams in the top 25 but are kept up by their strong power rating. When I ran this last year there was an outlier like this every week as well and it was Texas. Clemson will probably have to see another loss or two to really get hit in my model.
