ExternalTangents Ballot for 2024 Week 10

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 27, 2024, 1 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Probabilistic, predictive rating based only on teams' results so far this season, using opponent-adjusted points scored and allowed. This is NOT an achievement/resume rating, it's meant to predict the margins of future games. As wins and losses are not the key input, there will be teams ranked ahead of opponents they've beaten and teams with a better record than them. A close loss against an elite team is better than a close win against a bad team. Net rating is how far above/below the average Div 1 team (FBS and FCS combined) the team is. Offense and defense ratings are how many points above/below average they score or allow. This rating system is good at predicting expected margins for future games, with a relatively low absolute error.
