STL_12 Ballot for 2024 Week 15
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Dec. 2, 2024, 9:08 p.m.
Overall Rationale: My own version of a SOS/SOR type ranking, is backwards-looking and only looks at the games played with no sort of poll inertia (think if the season ended today, these would be the teams with the best resume), slowly gets better over the season as more games are played and teams balance out (for example, a team with a frontloaded schedule will likely be over-ranked in early ballots and a team with a backloaded schedule will likely be under-ranked), these rankings should be at their best before conference championship week, before bowl season, and post-season.
