bwburke94 Ballot for 2026 Week 9

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Oct. 26, 2026, 9:16 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Although this algorithm only uses wins and losses, and this is not a predictive metric, values given are converted to a projected point spread vs. an average FBS team.

First 5 out are Mississippi State, Oklahoma, North Texas, Northwestern, and Florida. Bottom 10 (best to worst) are Southern Miss, Missouri State, Bowling Green, UTEP, Washington State, Sam Houston, Akron, Kennesaw State, Sacramento State, and Northern Illinois.

I'm surprised the G6 is holding up so well, as this is a heavily SoS-based metric. Then again, the two G6 schools in the top 10 are Boise State (who has a transitive "win" over Michigan via WMU, plus games against Oregon and Memphis) and UTSA (who has only one loss and it's to Texas), so their non-conference slates are still helping them up for now.
