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.

I'm new to this community. What is this thread? Do people submit their own votes for a straw poll here?

As far as I can tell, it seems like most commenters have their own computer ranking systems that they're explaining as they submit.

It's all pretty interesting, but pretty intimidating for someone new to this place.

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.
