BlackGoose_13 Ballot for 2025 Week 6
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Sept. 29, 2025, 2:32 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Relying on a combination base of SP+ and ESPN FPI ratings, I've devised my own "Game Grader" type system which tracks a Power Score for each game (opponent adjusted). I keep it simple, I’m relatively newer at this, but how did your offense fare against the opponent defense rating? How did your defense fare against the opponent offense rating? All games are opponent adjusted using SP+ Off and Def ratings, and compared to season averages. If you scored twice the amount of points that an opponent defense has been letting up all year, that’s a good bonus. But if your defense allowed the opponent offense to score more than they usually do per year. That’s a slight negative. It all relatively compares and boils down to a game score for each team. Slightly reduced scores against FCS teams. Reflects current season body of work only. Next 5: Penn State - 15.86, Texas - 15.49, Mississippi State - 15.40, Nebraska - 15.38, Virginia - 15.32
