Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 8, 2023, 1:37 p.m.

Overall Rationale: My computer ranking! Details on each team's ranking can be found here: https://storage.googleapis.com/thexcomputerpoll-central/Output.html This only takes into account wins and losses, margin of victory, quality of opponent, and gives extra weight to conference championship games and bowl games. The link shows how each game is pushing a team's ranking up or down, including the impact of last season - which becomes less and less impactful as the season progresses. Note, I fixed a bug from last week where last season was weighted too heavily.
