CFBPoll 4.0 by TheAlpacalypse - The Pandas Rewrite

Computerized poll to automatically rank college football teams each week First install the dependencies using the command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then run the program using the command:

python3 __main__.py

Use Constants.py to tweak the values I use to generate the ranking. I have tried to avoid leaving any raw values in this main program to let users experiment.
