cfbpeoplespoll Ballot for 2024 Week 5
Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Sept. 22, 2024, 3:53 p.m.
Overall Rationale: A slightly human adjusted poll that ranks teams 1-134 solely on competitive performance. Points awarded for wins are tiered on where their opponent was ranked. Teams are given an additional bonus for quality performances. Early season polls will look wonky, but will even out as the season continues. Further human adjustment may occur if this is the case.
