the_lost_carrot Ballot for 2024 Week 14
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Nov. 25, 2024, 12:29 p.m.
Overall Rationale: weighted composite rankings using computer BCS polls (A&H, BIL, Colley, MAS, SAG, Wolfe) the ESPN FPI, the ESPN SOR (resume) and some auxiliary computer polls selected on merit (MOR, DWI, BWE, DII, DOK, HOW, OSC, PGH, PIR). Some of these polls are not available until later in the season. Weight system: BCS -45%; FPI-5%; ESPN SOR-5% AUX-45%. Note: Added the ESPN SOR to offset some of the weirdness of the FPI. Made both 5% each. Note2: I give up the numbers are weird this season is weird.

weighted average: 9.5; quick note because I know this one might ruffle feathers. the FPI has Alabama at 4, even if I change it to 25 they stay at 10. The BCS polls have them at 11.6; the SOR (resume) is 11, and the Auxiliary polls have them at 7.77 [repeating]. |
