Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Aug. 18, 2025, 11:40 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Elo ratings designed to use primarily wins and losses and team efficiency. I included a rudimentary strength of schedule metric so that bigger wins creates bigger movement. All teams started at with a 1500 score before using last seasons results and efficiency metrics. I plan to update the ratings weekly.
