Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Oct. 22, 2023, 1:28 p.m.
Overall Rationale: My poll is a hybrid between a computer and a human poll. The formula combines a power ranking (which teams I think are the best), with a resume ranking (which teams I think have the best case to be ranked), and a computer ranking that calculates rankings based on a team point system (each team has a certain number of points and beating a team takes a portion of their points). Each sub-poll is given equal weight, and the final poll is derived from that. The first 3-4 weeks have drastic swings, but as more data is collected this evens out.

Nearly a perfect score, Ohio State is #2 in my power ranking, #1 in my resume, and #1 in the computer (by a huge margin, that PSU W was immense). |

We saw both sides of Alabama last week. The mediocre Bama who couldn't put USF away, and the elite Bama who is still a playoff contender. Bama is still really, really, really good. |

Oregon State is ranked in the teens of all my rankings, but they add up to be #9. Oregon State isn't a top 10 team, but this is fun. |

....wait, what? UVA is unranked (obviously) in my power ranking and my resume ranking, but they suctioned off soooo many points from UNC in the computer that they're ranked #15 in the computer. What on earth? |

Well, this is surprising, but Oklahoma State is well-liked by the computers, and their turnaround this year has been phenomenal. |
