bwburke94 Ballot for 2024 Week 16 & Bowls
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Dec. 9, 2024, 4:20 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Although this algorithm only uses wins and losses, and this is not a predictive metric, values given are converted to a projected point spread vs. an average FBS team. First 5 out are Missouri, Illinois, Georgia Tech, Duke, and Marshall. Bottom 10 (best to worst) are FAU, San Diego State, UMass, UTEP, Tulsa, New Mexico State, Middle Tennessee, Kennesaw State, Southern Miss, and Kent State. Best bowl-ineligible team is #44 Kansas. Worst bowl-eligible team is #97 UTSA. Worst team with a winning record is #95 Liberty. Because I filled in an emergency human poll last week, the "last week" rankings actually compare to two weeks ago.
