1Subject Ballot for 2025 Week 7
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 5, 2025, 10:35 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Strength of Record Based Ranking - If a team has played all nobodies, they don't get the benefit of a doubt over a team who might have a worse record but has actually faced strong competition. Team reasons are an average and standard deviation of rank across a sweep of likelihood of records (from a weak team to a strong team having same record or better vs. opponents faced). Everything is derived from a simple win loss matrix.
