Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 16, 2025, 8:03 a.m.

Overall Rationale: This is a pure computer poll based only on data from this season. It looks at win %, strength of schedule, strength of record, and average margin of victory. It's meant to mimic a human poll, but with any sort of bias removed. Given that it's working with a limited data service, it's still a little rough at this point in the season. Given another week or 2, it'll settle in.
