Week 4 c/cfb poll

My ballot this week. Computer poll.

This will be the last week with preseason expectations still factored in, which means next week might get really weird.

I obviously need to tweak it a bit because it keeps placing teams like A&M so high every year, almost certainly because of the stacked talent on their team. I have yet to figure out how to properly account for coaches or team culture (e.g. a "Jimbo" handicap) without introducing bias...
