Player_1_has_Joined Ballot for 2024 Week 11

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Nov. 3, 2024, 9:52 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Computer ballot starts as a strict power ranking and then over the course of the season weights resume more and more in an attempt to predict how the committee makes their selections. I normally spend some time explaining some major opinionated outliers and I think the one that stands out to me is South Carolina at 19. While their record isn't anything to write home about, their resume ranking is surprisingly strong given their most recent win over Texas A&M and their losses all being to ranked teams. Swaggerbilt will be an interesting test for them in their next game but I think the remainder of the season they are a team to look out for if they win out and thus I think my computer model may be ahead of the curve on them versus the AP. Also BYU continues to be underrated in my model. I am not changing the model mid season to accommodate one team to place them where I think they should be (7) so they will remain an outlier. Sorry Cougars.
