CallMeTheKing Ballot for 2026 Week 11

Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Nov. 8, 2026, 6:46 a.m.

Overall Rationale: **Winner-Loser Quicksort**

1. Start with all FBS teams in one group.
2. Split the current group into upper and lower groups: for each team, compare wins over teams in the same or higher groups against losses to teams in the same or lower groups. More wins means upper; more losses means lower.
3. For each team whose win-loss counts tie (i.e. wins == losses), expand its own win list with wins by teams on that list, and its own loss list with losses by teams on that list. Recount against the same groups, and repeat until that team’s win-loss counts differ or it reaches 12 expansions. Still-tied teams form a middle group.
4. Recursively split the upper, middle, and lower groups the same way, preserving their order: upper, middle, lower. If a split stalls, restrict comparisons to the current group for subsequent splits. If all teams still tie, use summed log₇ winning margins minus summed log₇ losing margins against FBS opponents; if still tied, use a random-order tiebreak.

Scores provided encode each team’s upper/lower path as 1/0, padded on the right with 1s to equal length and read as a binary fraction. Middle steps add no digit, and scores omit margin tiebreaks, so equal scores can have different ranks.
