CALL_ME_ISHMAEBY Ballot for 2026 Week 11
Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Nov. 8, 2026, 8:24 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Computer ranking of who has earned it: the power/record blend (75/25, z-scored) plus credit for each win and a cost for each loss, scaled by opponent quality (their rank and the venue, FCS = lowest tier), at 75% of sizes fitted to historical poll voting. Teams within 0.10 are ordered by head-to-head.
