BeyondLiesTheWub Ballot for 2026 Week 7

Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 12, 2026, 8:48 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I have two predictive models - one that predicts how many points a team will score and one that predicts if they will win or lose. I simulate every FBS team against each other in each model and average the ranks based on who wins the most and who scores the most/allows the fewest points. Occasionally if there's a team that doesn't make sense based on the eye test I'll adjust or replace them (see notes for details).
