Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 30, 2024, 9:36 a.m.
Overall Rationale: #[Average Ranking Rankings (ARR!)](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pBsbWedITvLYDA-8Dvx6BmexeFCu8NQHpMCS1Bo2IA4/edit?usp=sharing) For those who haven't seen my computer poll before, the general rundown is that it attempts to average an easily understandable "Master Ranking" number from all of the *rankings* of stats, power rankings, and other data I can get that includes all ~~130~~ ~~131~~ ~~133~~ 134 teams that fairly compare teams and coaches across systems and conferences. In other words, I want to end up with a master number that is easily grokkable (#1 Ohio State avg ranking 15.60, #67 Texas State avg ranking 65.36, & #134 New Mexico State avg ranking 114.36) that will tell you what the average ranking of a team is across a large spectrum of criteria that hopefully encapsulates what makes a football team "good".
