Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 22, 2024, 6:37 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Measures what teams have faced relatively and how they have performed against that competition. Beating weaker competition doesn't do much for the resume. My computer tends to be a little high on non-P5 compared to traditional polling, but I think that's part of the fun
