Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Nov. 27, 2023, 8:36 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.
