grahamca Ballot for 2026 Week 8

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 19, 2026, 12:30 a.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

The computer doesn't have any direct head-to-head rationale for rankings, so Indiana is still over Ohio State since OSU is a more quality loss
