Ballot Type: Computer

Overall Rationale: #[Average Ranking Rankings (ARR!)](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fGMZjuh6vxOLgnkZ-IasC4-D0GPYGXYKa-xPFrGwSYY/edit?usp=sharing) For those who haven't seen my computer poll before, the general rundown is that it attempts to average an easily understandable "Master Ranking" number from all of the *rankings* of stats, power rankings, and other data I can get that includes all ~~130~~ ~~131~~ ~~133~~ 134 teams that fairly compare teams and coaches across systems and conferences. In other words, I want to end up with a master number that is easily grokkable (#1 Georgia avg ranking 14.76, #67 Virginia avg ranking 57.25, & #134 Louisiana Tech avg ranking 103.41) that will tell you what the average ranking of a team is across a large spectrum of criteria that hopefully encapsulates what makes a football team "good".
