Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 23, 2025, 8:14 a.m.
Overall Rationale: This is my first attempt at a computer ranking, I believe that the current rankings are subjective, and blue-bloods get preferential treatment and that the G5 doesn't get the credit it deserves based on their on-the-field performance. Given that, this computer ranking attempts to blend predictive ratings with résumé results, leaning toward rewarding teams that win convincingly against tough schedules. Elo and efficiency stats provide a backbone of team strength, while margin of victory, strength of schedule, and offensive/defensive dominance ensure results on the field carry real weight. Preseason and market factors are kept light, so current-season performance drives the rankings.
