CallingUagoatUgoat Ballot for 2024 Week 7
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 7, 2024, 9:46 a.m.
Overall Rationale: A team earns more points by beating good teams (per SP+) than by beating bad teams. Vice versa for losses - a team loses more points by losing to bad teams (losses to good teams are forgivable). Margin of victory and other game stats are not accounted for in this ranking.
