Yamiosum Ballot for 2026 Week 7
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 11, 2026, 9:51 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Gives "points" out based on margin of victory and strength of opponent. Teams are ranked by number of points accumulated, which informs the strength of opponent for another iteration. Iterated through hundreds of cycles until there is significant convergence. No preseason priors, so it's mostly a margin-of-victory metric until week 4 or 5
Top 5 most "valuable" wins so far this season:
1. Ohio State def. Iowa 31-14
2. Alabama def. Mississippi State 56-23
3. Miami (FL) def. Wake Forest 33-20
4. Georgia def. Alabama 20-17
5. UCLA def. Maryland 54-3
