Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 21, 2024, 8:26 p.m.

Overall Rationale: weighted composite rankings using computer BCS polls (A&H, BIL, Colley, MAS, SAG, Wolfe) the ESPN FPI, the ESPN SOR (resume) and some auxiliary computer polls selected on merit (MOR, DWI, BWE, DII, DOK, HOW, OSC, PGH, PIR). Some of these polls are not available until later in the season. Weight system: BCS -45%; FPI-5%; ESPN SOR-5% AUX-45%. Note: Added the ESPN SOR to offset some of the weirdness of the FPI. Made both 5% each.
