Noelthemexican Ballot for 2025 Week 9
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 19, 2025, 1:50 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Every year I've done some variation of the Colley Matrix (introducing bias to the famously "bias-free computer poll"), and this year is no different. Last time the teams were biased by FPI. This was probably good as far as accuracy goes, if you consider accuracy "closer to human polls." But in practice it was pretty much the Colley matrix with G5 teams down a lot of spots and P5 (especially SEC) teams up a lot of spots. One of the weeks Florida was ranked at like 25 at 7-5 or 5-7 or whatever happened in the swamp last year. So this year, I'm going to bias the teams by PFF rating. Specifically their "Overall" rating.
