How the Fan Formula Sliders Work
To create your custom formula, simply adjust the sliders to describe how you want teams to be ranked and watch as your Top 25 adjusts. Once you have finalized your formula, sign up to receive weekly emails and cast your ballots and have your opinions reflected in the Fan Formula Mother Poll.
