PlactusTX Ballot for 2023 Final
Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Jan. 10, 2024, 8:46 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Generate computer ratings, which look at wins, losses, and teams played. Compare schedules of teams with different records and determine how much better a schedule it would take to overcome fewer wins. Resort the list by schedule-adjusted record ((W - L) / 2 + (SoS - .500) / (Adjustment Factor)). With this final result, if two or more adjacent teams have played one another and can be cleanly sorted by who won, do so.
