PlactusTX Ballot for 2023 Week 12
Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Nov. 12, 2023, 10:28 a.m.
Overall Rationale: 1. Generate computer ratings, which look at wins, losses, and teams played. 2. Take the top 40 and use head-to-head comparisons (looking at records, ratings, overall strength of schedule, overall strength of victory, and side-by-side lists of opponents) to choose the top 25 teams. 3. If two adjacent teams played each other, consider placing the team that won that game ahead.
