Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Nov. 20, 2023, 9:42 p.m.
Overall Rationale: My poll is a computer poll based on the idea of looking at how many points a team scored in a given week and comparing it to how many other teams they would have beat with that score (i.e. I hated being the second highest scorer in fantasy football, but losing because I played the highest scoring team). As a result, a team winning 34-17 will look much better in my poll compared to a team that won 17-0 in the same week. I do consider margin of victory and try to incorporate some "competition"/strength of schedule checks as well, but they do not impact my poll as much as people would probably like. So each week a team earns a total number of points and they are ranked by their average throughout the season. My final poll is based off their total score. TLDR: Offense > Defense, I only want cupcakes, and this poll is extremely anti-Iowa.
