I would start by pointing out that your initial assumption is not possible ... hence the subjective committee to balance that out.

Do you have your system applied to, say, last year? Who would have been your 4 teams in the CFP?
Well it is possible, but 60% teams refuse to stop scheduling FCS opponents.

My initial assumption is impossible? I had same top four as committee.

Speaking of "Ideally, all FBS teams play equal or equal maximum game regular season schedules versus FBS competition only." Yes, not going to happen. Should it, maybe. But it won't. I am a realist.

Not possible and not going to happen are very different.

I don't expect anything to happen. Just pointing out that that is the ideal scenario for using my idea.

Also, how do you account for LSU being 6 spots worse than UCF after we just watched LSU kick the crap out of UCF in that bowl game with their 3rd string?

LSU had 3 losses on the year, but all were to teams you have in the top25. Florida, Alabama and Texas A&M which they lost in like 7 OTs.

Meanwhile UCF you have in 6th, after they didn't even play a team as difficult as those 3 teams. The only team they did play that was near that difficult was LSU, which again they lost too.

Beating shitty teams that LSU would be ridiculed for playing OOC as a conference game is better than losing to good teams.

Ok, how about after?

Don't have all games post bowl. Old computer crashed before I saved a couple files. Have FBS only results but can't post right now.

Not possible and not going to happen are very different.
Not in outcome.

Questions for Mr Objective Rules:

Are all conferences equally difficult?
Are no FCS teams capable of beating the worst FBS team?

So North Dakota State couldn’t beat UTEP? The same North Dakota State that has won 7 out of the last 8 national titles, and beat the Hawkeyes on their home turf a few years ago has no chance of beating UTEP?

Oregon plays NDS in 2020. I'd rather play Rutgers.
