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.
