penisthightrap_ Ballot for 2025 Week 9

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 20, 2025, 9:08 a.m.

Overall Rationale: First week I almost used my formula exclusively to complete the rankings without doing some manual adjustments. I think we're far enough into the season there's enough data that things don't look ridiculous. My methodology has a sort of BCS mentality of aggregating different polls and rankings to come up with an improvement over the AP. Relies heavily on SP+ metrics along with resume rankings and AP Poll. One thing to note is because this relies on SP+, teams don't always fall dramatically after a loss if they still competed as expected. Notably teams like Texas Tech and Oklahoma fell quite a bit in the AP but still ranked highly here. Another team of note: Virginia. Formula wanted to put them at 26, but I think they're deserving of being ranked. This caused me to do some shuffling 20-26, the only area of my ballot that is human. (Sorry Illinois, you're first out)
