Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Nov. 12, 2023, 12:52 p.m.
Overall Rationale: My computer ballot attempts to predict how the CFP committee will make their selections. It starts as a strict power ranking and over the course of the season, it weights resume more heavily. If you want to exclude James Madison because they aren't eligible for the CFP, then Oklahoma State slides in at the bottom as they are 26. I believe the top 8 is really starting to solidify with my computer ballot. Now that Georgia and Michigan have signature wins on their resume, the 5 remaining P5 schools are in the top 5 which hasn't happened yet. Some schools I though would fall a bit more for their losses but my model hasn't been punishing schools very seriously for losing games they weren't favored in to begin with. This is something I've mentioned in previous weeks about possibly tinkering with for next year.
