bwburke94 Ballot for 2023 Week 7
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 9, 2023, 4:30 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Although this algorithm only uses wins and losses, values given are converted to a projected point spread vs. an average FBS team. First 5 out are Iowa, Tulane, Miami FL, Liberty, and Troy. (Had Miami not choked, they would have come in at #15 instead of dropping out entirely.) Bottom 10, best to worst, are Temple, Temple, Temple... wait, sorry, I got sidetracked. Bottom 10, best to worst, are Temple, FIU, North Texas, UTEP, UMass, Ball State, Arizona State, Akron, Nevada, and Kent State.
