grahamca Ballot for 2026 Week 6

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 4, 2026, 4:45 p.m.

Overall Rationale: 4 Rankings combined: W/L Record, Predicted Wins, Team Strength, Quality of Wins. Full(er) rationale at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1II5aTpECPM6S94RfX8bTlAhNFVAeXKto_bF1YI7wi9U
I added a weight to FBS/FCS games to hopefully push them further apart statistically, but it ended up just boosting teams that played those games past those who didn't. The weight now decreases every week, they'll be counted as less than a game from now on.
