bwburke94 Ballot for 2023 Week 8
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 16, 2023, 6:34 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 Louisville, Missouri, Clemson, Western Kentucky, and Tennessee. (Georgia is #32 because this is a highly SoS-dependent metric and THEY AIN'T PLAYED NOBODY PAAAWWWWLLL.) Bottom 10, best to worst, are Hawaii, East Carolina, FIU, UMass, Arizona State, Kent State, Temple, Nevada, Ball State, and Akron.
