Player_1_has_Joined Ballot for 2024 Week 13

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Nov. 17, 2024, 8:31 p.m.

Overall Rationale: My computer ballot begins the year as a strict power ranking similar to FPI or SP+. Over the course of the season, resume is weighted more and more into the model to give me a top 25 that attempts to predict how the committee might make their selections. Similar to last week, the cluster of SEC teams at top of the standings may be weirdly placed on based on head to head results. My model does not consider that in it's calculation. For example, Georgia is above Alabama and Ole Miss despite having the same number of wins and losses but losing the head to head match ups. The model just sees two losses on the road to teams both power ranked in the top 5 while Ole Miss's and Alabama's losses come to teams outside of the top ten (power rated). As a result the model is more favorable to Georgia's resume despite the head to head results.
