cnpeters Ballot for 2024 Week 4
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 17, 2024, 7:45 a.m.
Overall Rationale: All human element now out, relying on 3/5 computer rankings, 2/5 quality of wins. Each point total with best win in team descriptions. My computer despises #61 Ole Miss, mainly because it thinks they've played the worst schedule in America, with #103 Wake Forest, #124 Middle Tennessee, and FCS Furman. --- First Out and Kinda Close (over 70 points) --- #26 Washington (75.22), #27 Iowa (75.20), #28 Pitt (74.43), #29 Syracuse (74.25), #30 Notre Dame (73.56), #31 Illinois (73.09), #32 Indiana (73.01), #33 Nebraska (72.30), #34 Arizona State (71.38), #35 Toledo (70.12) --- At the Bottom (under 10 points) --- #126 Jacksonville State (8.86), #127 Troy (7.82), #128 Old Dominion (7.78), #129 New Mexico (6.85), #130 Temple (4.24), #131 Kennesaw State (2.92), #132 UTEP (2.64), #133 UMass (0.70), #134 Kent State (0.06) --- America's Team --- #111 Akron (16.86)
