Darth_Ra Ballot for 2025 Week 6
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 29, 2025, 8:55 a.m.
Overall Rationale: #[Average Ranking Rankings (ARR!)](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YkFdpKQ5Jk-f7qk1_jzC9QlXpCSrrM7ejiWXwChiKm4/edit?usp=sharing) For those who haven't seen my computer poll before, the general rundown is that it attempts to average an easily understandable "Master Ranking" number from all of the *rankings* of stats, power rankings, and other data I can get that includes all ~~130~~ ~~131~~ ~~133~~ ~~134~~ 136 teams that fairly compare teams and coaches across systems and conferences. In other words, I want to end up with a master number that is easily grokkable (#1 Ohio State avg ranking 14.13, #68 SMU avg ranking 63.30, & #136 Akron avg ranking 115.65) that will tell you what the average ranking of a team is across a large spectrum of criteria that hopefully encapsulates what makes a football team "good".
