arbadak Ballot for 2026 Week 10
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Nov. 2, 2026, 11:10 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Modified Colley Matrix with a win-weighted sigmoid margin transform and a fixed 2.8-point home-field advantage adjustment. Winning is the primary factor; margin of victory provides diminishing secondary differentiation, effectively soft-capping around three scores.
New: Missouri, USC, Liberty, Iowa, Oregon.
Dropped: Florida, James Madison, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Wisconsin.
