ruwisc Ballot for 2024 Week 4
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 15, 2024, 10:42 a.m.
Overall Rationale: This poll was seeded with the results of the r/CFB preseason poll, helping me separate teams much more easily this early on. Teams are graded on offensive and defensive scales, based on the quality of their opponent, point total, and whether they won or lost. The two scales are combined together to produce the final ranking. Calculations are performed iteratively, so if one of your team's past opponents does very well, that will help you. At the moment, the preseason poll does account for 70% of the ranking value. This will diminish by 10 percentage points per week until the later stages of the season when it'll be 100% calculated. Next 10: Liberty, Nebraska, North Carolina, Washington State, Iowa, Arizona, Memphis, Syracuse, UNLV, Illinois
