cfbpeoplespoll Ballot for 2024 Week 2

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Sept. 3, 2024, 5:13 p.m.

Overall Rationale: My ballet is based on team performances using a formula that ranks teams 1-134 and the performances against where their opponent was ranked. Extra points are award for away/neutral site wins. Slight human adjustment is utilized to make slight corrections to the formula as the season goes on. The early polls are a bit silly, but they balance out as the season continues. I will use the comments to explain rationale.

Rank Team Reason
1 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 135 pts. Playing 2 games so far boosts them higher than they should be.
2 Georgia Bulldogs 125pts. Neutral win vs top 10 team
3 USC Trojans 125pts. Neutral win vs top 10 team
4 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 75 pts. Away win vs top 25 team
5 Penn State Nittany Lions 50 pts. Away win vs top 50 team
6 North Carolina Tar Heels 50 pts. Away win vs top 50 team
7 Boston College Eagles 50 pts. Away win vs top 50 team
8 SMU Mustangs 45 pts. 2 games played.
9 UNLV Rebels 35 pts
10 TCU Horned Frogs 35 pts
11 Sam Houston Bearkats 35 pts
12 UCLA Bruins 35 pts
13 James Madison Dukes 35 pts
14 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers 35 pts
15 Boise State Broncos 30 pts
16 North Texas Mean Green 30 pts
