Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 23, 2025, 9:23 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Computer model that uses only location adjusted margin per game to compute the most reasonable ratings that minimize squared error between predicted and actual. No preseason data used, so numbers early in the season are a little wonky.
