Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Nov. 9, 2025, 11:38 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Using only results from this year, I compute a power rating, offensive rating and defensive rating. I use those ratings to compute a strength of record (SOR)/resume rating. The four ratings are normalized, and the final ranking is a weighted average which increasingly values the SOR component the further into the season. Dropped: Virginia (15->27), Washington (18->30) Next 5: Cincinnati (0.731), Virginia (0.73), Houston (0.729), Missouri (0.726), Washington (0.722)
