Player_1_has_Joined Ballot for 2024 Week 7

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 7, 2024, 5:24 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Obligatory: Tell your kids about top 10 Indiana! My computer ballot starts the seasons as a strict power ranking and over the course of the season weights resume more and more in an attempt to predict how the committee would rank the teams. I'm much more content with the results this week over last week. BYU is back but probably still under rated given they have head-to-head wins over #17 and #18 in the poll. Pre seasons expectations are completely filtered out of the power ranking at this point in the season but the forward facing power ranking isn't very favorable for them. If they keep winning it won't matter. Miami feels a bit over rated but my model gives them the best resume in the country right now which is why they are at 4. Utah is unranked and is at 32 overall (which is where they were last week as well). Despite only having one loss my model does not think their resume is impressive. Lastly, there are a few two loss teams at the bottom of the ballot USC, Louisville, and Kentucky. Ideally, I'd like to see some of the one loss teams that are right behind them in the 26-30 range (Nebraska, Colorado, and Rutgers fit this bill) but I don't want to interfere with the model at this point in the season and honestly, I'd probably take each of USC, Louisville, and Kentucky to be favored against each of Nebraska, Colorado, and Rutgers anyway.
