Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Nov. 11, 2024, 8:40 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Simple Rating System (SRS), restricted to wins/losses only. The goal of the game is to win, so this rewards teams that do so, while also accounting for strength of schedule. Strongly prioritizes "most deserving" over "best", and is obviously unimpressed by blowout wins (and inversely unconcerned by blowout losses).
