Top 25: Week 1

[joshsmithers]

As far as voters go, here's my opinion: the more, the merrier. PM me! (And thanks to those that have...) For the critics of this poll: if you want it to be better, do something about it. I would LOVE to submit my own poll, to help out those teams on the list that deserve a higher ranking, but that's completely unfair to the other voters.

I'm still trying to figure out how to factor in OPR.... The problem with doing that is then this Ranking is based more upon how the teams so on the field. When I first envisioned this ranking, I wanted it to reflect the best teams in FRC, not necessarily the match-winners, but also the award winners.

It turns out that was a stupid idea. This ranking is gonna need to be based on one thing: winning. So, if anyone has any ideas to make this less subjective...

One idea I had: simply multiply the number of votes a team gets by that team's win percentage.

Maybe offer "bonus points" to teams that win regionals, or are finalists? The way this would work is you would give, say, 111 "10 points*number of people that vote."

I'll keep thinking..... Next ranking won't be til after week 3. (Sorry guys).
