Playoff Format

I was trying to think of what type of formula the committee might use for their rankings.
Using the playoff committee's top 10 I used the WVSSAC system (WV high schools start their playoffs this week) to see how their opinions match up.
WV has 3 levels, AAA( I use as the P5 level) , AA ( I used as the D1 non P5 level) and A (used as the non D1 schools).
The formula is:
12 points per win + a bonus point for every game a defeated opponent wins over an opponent of the same level (P5 school = AAA school in our case as WVU fans).
9 points per win over a non P5 (AA) and no bonus points.
6 points for a win over a non D1 opponent no bonus points.
Loses count for zero points
I took total number of points and divided by number of games to date to get rating:
1. Florida State. 13.8
2. Oregon 12.5
3. TCU. 12.1
4. Mississippi State. 12
4. Alabama. 12
6. Arizona State. 11.8
7. Baylor. 11.1
7. Ohio State. 11.1
9. Auburn. 10.4
10. Ole Miss. 9.4

To get it EXACTLY how their system would rank the teams then I would need to do all teams in the P5 plus I would use Notre Dame and BYU as P5 and the other Indy's as non P5 but....aint nobody got time fuh dat.

You forgot to count biased rankings in this, how would the system
Survive without those

yea, I think there is still some human bias in the room but I think they get it close then split hairs. I like the point system above, it doesn't care about where you play as far as conference ect., loses kill and wins are rewarded, no moral victories.

Exactly I totally agree with your system....your wins and wins your opponents have....tired of teams beating Florida when they suck and voters acting like it was a national title game.

We still haven't seen a CFP Ranking that truly matters yet, and won't till DEC but can't recall a more compelling reg. season than this one

Couldn't agree more!

ESPN won't be happy until the nation championship is a week by week round robin of SEC teams.
