Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Nov. 11, 2024, 11:41 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Ballot begins the year as a strict power ranking and over the course of the year resume is weighted heavier and heavier in the calculation in an attempt to predict how the committee may make their picks. For the most part this year, I have been content with the results of my ballot week to week. This week however, I look at the placement of several SEC teams and I just have to shrug. Just remember this comes down to just being a formula and head to head isn't really considered in that calculation.
