HieloLuz Ballot for 2024 Week 8

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 13, 2024, 1:11 p.m.

Overall Rationale: These rankings are a pure resume based points system. Teams are assigned a tier based on their rating (1-7). Points are gained for wins, subtracted for losses, based on the opponents tier. Small modifiers for game closeness (Win/Loss Bonuses/Penalties = WB, WP, LB, LP) and SOS based on Opponent's record. |
If two teams are next to each other in the rankings, and have played head to head, the head to head winner will be ranked higher, regardless of points. |
