Remember that next week is the submission date for our bracket seeding contest. You can still submit ballots that contribute to your participation quota after next week, but I obviously encourage more participation as opposed to less.

Pretty much! It doesn't have to be a computer poll, it can be just your opinion, or a hybrid.

I do a computer poll, because a) I don't watch enough games to make an informed ranking and b) it's a fun exercise in coding and tuning the algorithm(s) for me.

You also don't need to share your ballot in the comments, but I also enjoy sharing and explaining what my algorithm is doing and if/where I disagree with it.

If you use an API to get stats for your algorithm would you be willing to say which ones? Making my own sounds like a fun casual project.

I use https://collegefootballdata.com/ which has an API, though I don't actually use it (yet). I just navigate to "Data" > "Games and Results" and export the 2024 FBS games to a csv file and use that.
