bwburke94 Ballot for 2026 Week 10
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Nov. 3, 2026, 7:11 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 Louisiana Tech, New Mexico, Iowa, Ohio, and North Dakota State. Bottom 10 (best to worst) are Kennesaw State, Bowling Green, Washington State, Temple, Sacramento State, UL Monroe, Akron, UTEP, Sam Houston, and Northern Illinois.
I'm finally stable at the top, but the bottom of my ballot is still a mess. Oregon State, last week's #25 team, dropped all the way to #56 with their loss to Fresno State.
