BeyondLiesTheWub Ballot for 2024 Week 6

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 30, 2024, midnight

Overall Rationale: I have two predictive models - one that predicts how many points a team will score and one that predicts if they will win or lose. I simulate every FBS team against each other in each model and average the ranks based on who wins the most and who scores the most/allows the fewest points. Occasionally if there's a team that doesn't make sense based on the eye test I'll adjust or replace them (see notes for details). Notes for this week: Fresno State, Utah, Oklahoma dropped out.

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes +1
2 Texas Longhorns -1
3 Alabama Crimson Tide no change
4 Georgia Bulldogs no change
5 Oregon Ducks +4
6 Tennessee Volunteers +4
7 Penn State Nittany Lions +1
8 LSU Tigers +3
9 Ole Miss Rebels -3
10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish -3
11 Miami Hurricanes -6
12 James Madison Dukes +31
13 USC Trojans -1
14 Missouri Tigers +4
15 Washington Huskies +4
16 UNLV Rebels +28
17 Iowa State Cyclones -1
18 Michigan Wolverines -5
19 Clemson Tigers +1
20 Louisville Cardinals -5
21 Boise State Broncos +9
22 Texas A&M Aggies -8
23 Iowa Hawkeyes no change
24 Indiana Hoosiers -7
25 South Carolina Gamecocks -4, I forced out Tulane at #25 because they have 2 losses and South Carolina is more deserving (BYU, the next team out, is probably even more deserving but I'll use the model rank-order for now).
