Stoneador Ballot for 2026 Week 5

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 27, 2026, 1:33 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Program compares teams using Transitivity Score by summing the amount of teams that can be expected to be beaten and subtracts the amount of teams that can be expected to be losses. SOS and Differential scores used as tiebreakers which become more relevant as season goes on. Poll only uses win loss data and scores form current season so strange early season rankings are expected.
