Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 8, 2024, 4:38 p.m.

Overall Rationale: This model was not designed to be taken seriously until week 4. Consume this ballot with caution. Hybrid Power Ranking and Resume Poll. Based on team statistics in each of their last 12 games, with each statistic being weighted differently, and more recent games having more weight to bring it more inline with human polls. Poll considers the 12 most recent games a team has played (including prior year and bowls), with prior year games being given much less weight, and "good stats" against FCS schools being discounted. Weightings may be tweaked season-to-season, but not mid-season. Teams must have played 12 games as an FBS school to qualify for a ranking (prior year games against an FBS while still in FCS count).
