msonar623 Ballot for 2024 Week 5
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 23, 2024, 5:42 p.m.
Overall Rationale: This is a computer poll that uses margin of victory, game location, and game control (GC) as inputs. GC is calculated from the average margin at the end of each possession in a game. Model only considers FBS games. Early season results are mixed with other factors to balance early season computer randomness. For example, teams have played an average of 2.9 FBS opponents, and therefore ranking breakdown is as follows: 58% current season, 21% prior season, 13% returning production, and 8% team talent composite This computer ranking in a couple weeks will be entirely based on current season results.
