Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 4, 2024, 12:44 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Fully computer poll, trialing a new model. The model includes the following parameters, selected via a lasso method. Here, lastThree means that stat averaged over the last 3 games. I expect this to look somewhat normal at conference play, based on testing past years: 'home_conference', 'home_elo', 'away_elo', 'home_kickReturns', 'home_defense_ppa', 'home_defense_rushingPlays_totalPPA', 'home_offense_totalPPA', 'home_offense_rushingPlays_totalPPA', 'away_passingTDs', 'away_kickReturnTDs', 'away_defense_passingDowns_ppa', 'away_defense_rushingPlays_totalPPA', 'away_offense_passingDowns_ppa', 'home_puntReturnTDs_lastSeason', 'home_puntReturnYards_lastSeason', 'home_defense_secondLevelYardsTotal_lastSeason_perDrive', 'away_interceptionTDs_lastSeason', 'away_offense_powerSuccess_lastSeason', 'away_offense_passingPlays_explosiveness_lastSeason', 'home_kickReturns_lastThree', 'home_offense_stuffRate_lastThree', 'away_offense_havoc_total_lastThree'
